Jump Rings
Split Rings/Jump Rings are used in connecting anything with loops together, such as the wire end of a necklace and it’s clasp. A jump ring is a singular loop, split in one place, so you can twist the ring open to slide in the loop. Helpful hint: Remember to TWIST the ring open rather than PULLING it apart. Once apart you will be hard pressed to return the loop to it’s original round perfection. A split ring has a double loop, like a key ring, so needs to be opened as such. Split rings are a bit more trustworthy since they are entirely closed loops, whereas jump rings are much easier to use.
