How to Make Your Own Jump Rings

[@lorettamitch-lynn9389]

You did a wonderful job at instructions. I liked that you offered different tools and different methods of cutting. Look forward to your other instructions.

[@evangelinastar6042]

What a great teacher. Very well spoken.

[@janicescragg2388]

Well done. Clear concise and to the point with excellent tips as a bonus. Thank you for this.

[@FireMountainGems]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Sarahthelunsford]

I could not imagine why it could take 14 minutes to talk about making jump rings. I am so glad I watched all the way through! I use flush cutters to make my jump rings. I will now be tidying up my work by snipping off that unflush end. Thank you so much!

[@FireMountainGems]

Glad it was helpful and thank you for watching!

[@durban6276]

[@FireMountainGems]

[@pammietime4495]

Wow thanks so much!! I was just wondering how jump rings are made both sides being flat.I learned I really need a jeweler's saw!!

[@FireMountainGems]

We're so glad the video helps - thanks for watching!

[@MrSpikesterman]

that why I love Fire Mountain Gem and beads video and the people who work there, I just learn some today about closing the jump rings, I had the habit looking on the side of the jump ring when closing it too, now I'm going to start looking on top of the jump ring to close it, thank you for the lesson today.

[@FireMountainGems]

You're welcome. Glad to hear it was helpful. Thanks for watching!

[@flyingsquirrel5213]

Very clear - thank you! I was wondering how to fix the closure portion of the jump ring without distorting the shape. I'm not quite up to using the saw (as much fun as that might be), but I'll give trimming a smidge of wire a try.

[@judycrisenbery2982]

Yes, good question. My jump rings usually fall off my jewelry. How do I prevent that?

[@acidrain8711]

Thanks so much, every little bit helps that I learn because I am so new to metalworking.

[@FireMountainGems]

[@denolftiffanie8089]

Thank you, I’ve been having a hard time finding a good gauge jump ring with the diameters I need AND the same gold colour… why are there so many gold colours… maybe I should make my own.

[@FireMountainGems]

[@FireMountainGems]

Glad it was helpful!

[@darkraven1966]

Great video, I didn't know there was a tool to hold the coil to cut. Im definitely getting one. Also, I always wondered what that 3 roll tool was for or how to use it..now I know its for straightening. I've been making chainmail for about 2 yrs now on a regular basis. Video was great not for just making jump rings but also for the tools. I know I will be purchasing some new tools. Thank you.

[@FireMountainGems]

Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching.

[@darkraven1966]

I've been trying to find that tool on your site and can't find it. Is it possible to send a link for that.... many thanks

[@glittergirlglory4320]

Can you also cut jump rings with a regular pair cutting pliers like flash cutters or side cutters

[@shayestehahmadzadeh7149]

Perfect 👌

[@annmark1966]

That was fantastic in the space of a short time I. Just learned lots! Thank you.. Can you be my sister so I can learn much more lol

[@beckyj5875]

Is there such thing as angle cut jump rings? If so, what are they called? I thought I saw them 1 day but I just looked them up & couldn't find them all I could find were regular ones & ones that have to be crimped.

[@FireMountainGems]

We have different shapes and types of jump rings that you can find here: www.firemountaingems.com/shop/jumprings?navsrc=top_2_JumpRings If you are talking about the cut ends being at an angle, then that wouldn't be something we carry. Our jump rings have flush cut ends.

[@apt.144]

How do i know if i should get soft, full hard or half hard? I want to make small 3mm 22g jump rings.

[@FireMountainGems]

It is recommended to use half-hard wire since dead-soft may not hold shape well and full-hard is difficult to coil. Here is our full resource on jump rings: www.firemountaingems.com/resources/jewelry-making-articles/f11v Hope this helps! 😊

[@LiveByDesignNotByDefault]

YOu sold me on the coil mandrels.... why can't I find it on your website????

[@FireMountainGems]

Here is the set Lisa used the largest one from: www.firemountaingems.com/4681TL.html

[@janpeterson21]

Im not clear on why I’d want to make jump rings using dead soft wire. Wouldn’t it be too flimsy to hold tight?

[@ElanoreHour]

I cannot for the life of me find that tool that you use to hold the coils for cutting. Searched your website, and every site I could think of. What exactly is the tool called, and where can I find it?

[@FireMountainGems]

Hello! Here is the link to the coil-cutting pliers that we carry on our website: www.firemountaingems.com/itemdetails/h203804tl

[@larrymoremckenzie3029]

So where do u get the coiling pliers?

[@FireMountainGems]

There's a link in the video description but for your convenience, here's a link: www.firemountaingems.com/shop/wubbers-wire_wrapping_pliers

[@judycrisenbery2982]

How would I make my own split jump rings????

[@FireMountainGems]

You could wrap the wire like a jump ring, but wrap twice and then cut both ends.

[@judycrisenbery2982]

@@FireMountainGems thank you

[@emelle7863]

I see a rock tumbler. Do you tumble your rings?

[@FireMountainGems]

The jump rings do not get tumbled. They are ready to use right after cutting them!
