Jump Rings Opening and Closing Tutorial

Stage 1:
Hold the ring in a pair of pliers, using a second pair of pliers grasp the ring, move your hands in opposite directions until the ring opens up. Do not pull outwards with the pliers.
You are actually twisting the ring ends apart to open the ring.

Stage 2:
Closing the ring is the reverse of the above method.
Hold the ring with both pliers and again move your hands in opposite directions, move the open ends past each other. The ends are moved back and forth until the ring is closed.
You will need to exert inward pressure on the pliers so that the ring begins to close. As you move the ends past each other, exerting pressure, you will hear a click as the ring closes. Don’t try to force the ring closed.

Stage3:
Check to see that the ring has closed without a gap and that both sides are level as per the photo below.
When closing jump rings always double check to ensure they have closed completely and are level on each side.
Double checking rings are most important if your hand made jewelry creation has many rings in the design such as chain maille jewelry.

You can buy a special tool for opening rings. It is a wide finger ring with a slot cut into it. You slip it onto your finger, put a ring into the slot and twist it open.
