TIP OF THE DAY - 12 January 2012 - Split rings

If you are annoyed with jump rings that are continually opening under the slightest pressure then use a split ring!

Split rings are simply a double loop of wire. Beware of copper based split rings and always use alloy rings when possible since alloy rings always spring back into shape.

Split rings can be fiddly to open in the smaller sizes and you can buy split ring pliers and split ring tweezers to make the job easier.
