These handmade Square Oxidized Antique Copper Jump Rings are perfect for chainmaille artisans and all jewelry artisans who are looking for something better than what is available commercially! This listing is for 50 in your choice of gauge and diameter (inside diameter). These are perfect for light to heavy duty creations! These rings are a wonderful weight because they are solid raw copper! They are handmade by us to our exacting specifications and you will love how our attention to detail will make your creations stand out!
They are made from high quality square copper wire which is wound on a mandrel and saw cut with 0.008" rotary slitting saw blade-this means that only a very small amount of the ring is removed which gives you a nice round ring with a very SMOOTH parallel cut. Next they are tumbled with steel shot, washed with detergent and hot water and dried at low temperature; each are hand inspected.
We offer 2 general levels of oxidizing; medium and dark. The MEDIUM oxidizing will have varying shades of brown with possible red and gold tones. The DARK oxidizing will have varying shades of dark brown, grey and black. The wire will continue to oxidize once exposed to the air and may also loose some of its dark tones as you work with it. You can choose to seal this. You can also use our Synthetic Steel Wool to give it highlights.
