A jump ring is a wire ring that is commonly used in the making of jewellery items and other small items such as key chains. A jump ring is a small ring that has been made by bringing its two ends together without welding or soldering, meaning that the ends are brought together without applying heat. In jewellery making, jump rings are small pieces that are attached to a necklace or bracelet. A charm or other jewellery item is attached to the jump ring through its suspension bale. The jump rings is twisted open to allow for attachment of the charm, and then closed together again afterwards.
Grab a jump ring and your needle nose pliers. Do NOT pull the jump ring open-this messes up it's shape. Always twist to the side. After you have opened the jump ring, string on a key charm and a split ring. Twist the jump ring sideways back the way you opened it to close it. The different between a split ring (right) and a jump ring (left) is that a jump ring is made of only one wrap of wire and opens easily with one twist. A split ring is made with multiple wraps of wire and to open it and get a component on to the loop you have to twist it around the different wraps of wire.
