4. How To Open and Close Jump Rings For a Perfect Connection - Free Permanent Jewelry Training

I show How to Open and Close Jump Rings - Properly

This is one of the most basic, but extremely valuable, piece of knowledge needed to connect components securely - for permanent jewelry welding, as well a any sort of jewelry making

It is simple, and yet if not done correctly, causes all sorts of problems

Never pull your rings open - always use pivot action, and two pairs of pliers, holding the sides of the ring FLAT, and as much of the ring as possible to reduce the chance of the ring warping at certain points.

The pliers used are chain nose pliers (flat and to a point), without serrated teeth.

Hi! Love your videos :) How do you go about choosing the right size jumprings? Also, what's your best hack or video to minimize blowing one?

What kind of pliers are you using ? Also which do you like to cut with ? I feel like my cutter pliers are not making a smooth cut .. maybe a little diagonal cut.

Hi there, I’d like to weld white gold bracelets - what material would you recommend I use for jump rings that would be durable and match the white gold? Thanks!!
