No, for Jens Pind, it's always 1 ring at a time.

I don't think it matters which way you open the ring, the most comfortable for the user and the ability to get it closed flush is most important. Also, I find that a tight grip where the ring doesn't slid around in the plier jaws is less marring than too loose a grip. Finding the sweet spot takes practice.

Thank you, I'm glad it helped!

Hello I am making beaded necklaces and I love the shell so it hangs with a jump ring not sure how this is done 🤷🏻‍♀️ . I need to open jump ring attach it to the shell that has a tiny hole and then attach to the necklace in between the beads on necklace ? Any videos that could help me 😍

You need to make either the gauge bigger for that size or use the 20 gauge with a smaller mm size. 20 gauge is a very thin wire size generally with 20 gauge I make 3mm sized jump rings. The best thing to note is the bigger size your jump rings are the thicker your gauge wire needs to be.

I'm afraid I'm not sure what you mean, I use the same method every time. Feel free to email me and we can work through what you mean! (email / contact form on website, website listed above)

Izzy True I follow a couple of other chainmaillers and one uses both metric and imperial measurements, while the other uses imperial. I don't think it it arrogance to use the measurements you're used to. When I hear people using millimetres and centimetres with regard to wire gauges I have no idea what gauge they are talking about, but if they say they're using 20 gauge wire I know what thickness of wire I need.

Brissy Girl lovely video ,but I must agree mm and cm, inches are the preferred measurements for the uk and lots of other countries and would be nice to include this in the video or in additional information. I know you also do kits but not every body can afford the prices and extra for p&p. I would prefer buying myself from my local shopping center and great quality and price less than half of your prices. Lovely video and many thanks for the free lesson in chain mail kind regards I’m subscribed for more.

I'm (very) late in replying, but in my video description I give all the sizes needed, and they are in mm, as well as noting that wire used is in the American Wire Gauge system. I don't work in imperial / inches unless it's how long a chain is (7" bracelet, etc.) so I'm not sure where that is coming from. I state the size of the gauge of the ring, because there are basically only 3 ring sizes that I use for japanese 12-in-2: 20g 2.75mm ID (doubled) 18g 4.0mm ID (doubled) and then the large 14g rings, which the inner diameter varies depending on the piece. (single) So, when I say 'open one of your 20g rings' -- there is only 1 ring size that refers too. When something is firm in my own head and I speak of it casually, I forget that it is NOT a set thing in other's heads and I apologies for the confusion.

What would you like to see, Coleen?
