Jump rings are (usually metal) rings used to make chains, jewelry and chainmaille. They are made by wrapping wire around a mandrel to make a coil, then cutting the coil with wire cutters to make individual rings. The rings can be assembled one by one into chains, earrings, and attaching objects to each other.

The size of the jump ring is the thickness of the mandrel. The gauge of the jump ring is the thickness of the wire used in making the jump ring.

Bright Aluminum Rings
Bright aluminum is light, inexpensive and clean for aluminum. Rub-off is always an issue with any uncoated aluminum. Our bright aluminum is diamond drawn to give the cleanest and brightest possible finish - but its still subject to small amounts of grey ruboff. This material can vary in shine as well.
