Feeling inspired? Then now is the perfect time to learn how to open and close a jump ring.
Mastering this technique can help you create custom beaded necklaces, chain bracelets, personalized earrings and more.
Jump rings come in various sizes and finishes to coordinate with and connect whatever jewelry you’re making.
Step 1: Place the jump ring finger tool over your index finger. The tool will help you stabilize the jump ring while you work.
Step 2: Insert your jump ring into the closest fitting slot on the jump ring finger tool. Keep the opening of the jump ring near the finger tool. This will help you avoid distorting the round shape of the ring while opening and closing it.
Step 3: Using your jewelry pliers, gently open the jump ring by moving the free side of the ring away from you.
Step 4: Create a space sufficient enough to attach the jump ring as a connector for your jewelry.
Step 5: Close a jump ring using the same technique in reverse, moving the pliers toward you to realign the two wires. Do this carefully to maintain the round shape.
Once you can successfully open and close a jump ring, you are officially on your way to becoming a jewelry artist.
