Jump rings are jewelry-making essentials and you can’t forget about the SJ 3-4.5mm Jump Ring Series. Their small size makes them ideal for finishing many silver chains, especially the small, delicate ones. The variety in wire gauges in this series, 16-24g, also make them ideal for fitting through a variety of openings – from chain, to clasps, to charms. They’re especially great for connecting dangling elements to stud earrings. Its small size allows you to get the movement you’re looking for without overwhelming the star of the show – the different elements!

Remember when closing jump rings to brush the ends back and forth past each other and back into place. We do not recommend pulling the opening apart by simply expanding the gap. This will distort the round shape of the jump ring and make it harder for the ring to stay closed in place. Check out our blog post that compares making your finding vs. buying them. It’s so informative on where your money and time are best spent!
