These handmade non-tarnishing 18kt Gold Colored jump rings in your pick of Gauge (12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22) and ID (inside diameter) are perfect for chainmaille artisans and all jewelry artisans who are looking for something better than what is available commercially! They have a medium dark gold tone, like 18kt gold, but do not contain any gold.
Each listing is for 100 jump rings.
These rings are a wonderful weight because the base metal is copper. First they are silver plated; next they are colored in gold. Then they have a clear coating baked on to prevent tarnishing! They are handmade by us to our exacting specifications. We recommend these for light to medium duty projects such as earring creations and other projects that are not worn 24/7.
YOU PICK Gauge and ID (Inside Diameter)
Small Size Mix - A Variety of Gauges (18, 20, 22, 24) and Diameters
Large Size Mix - A Variety of Gauges (12, 14, 16) and Diameters
They are made from Non-tarnishing Gold Colored Wire (color may vary depending on gauge/batch). They are 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 tumble washed with detergent and hot water and dried at low temperature; each are hand inspected. Special tools are not required to work with these! We damage 1% on average when making chainmaille.
We love making chainmaille, but were unable to purchase jump rings that met our standards, so we invested in the equipment and started making them ourselves and we love them! The weight is substantial and our customers love the feel when they pick up the products.
Materials: enameled coated copper wire, does not contain nickel or lead.
