That can be made of gold, silver, copper, brass or wire, and are traditionally round in shape, which can come in other forms such as ovals, squares, triangles and hexagons. The wire may be accompanied by twisting metal or may be square, so opening jump rings is a procedure which, although relatively simple, must be done carefully. Ultimately, too much emphasis on the jewels of these findings may lead to break the cycles of jump, becoming weak or difficult to close, which, in turn, weaken the structure of the piece as a whole.
The most important piece of equipment will have to open jump rings is a pair of pliers. Chain the nose or flat nose pliers are the most commonly used in this process. Chain nose pliers are defined by the shape of the exterior of the jaw, which is rounded and the jaw to the end cones. Some chain nose pliers with a cutting blade inside the jaw, used for cutting wire and other jewelry findings. Flat nose pliers, as its name indicates, two flat jaws that are used to organize and manipulate the sheets and his son. Unlike the chain nose pliers, are more commonly used for taper crimping and handling. The square jaw is used to help create angular shapes in the wire. It is important that the surface the jaw of one of these types of pliers is smooth and the risk of marking the surface of the upper rings.
To open a small number of rings, a pair of small pliers is used to hold the ring and the ring and then can be handled gently with fingertips. However, it is important to note that the ring no no be opened by pulling the opposite ends of their own. Instead, the ring is twisted open, to create gaps. If the results are very small jewelry, a pair of pliers can be used to hold the ring, while the other pair is used to deform open. This process can also be used to open a large number of cycles of jump. Is important to open the jump ring only to the extent that you need for you or the risk of fatigue are of metal. It is best to use your non-dominant hand for the jump ring and their dominant hand to manipulate it.
The jump ring closure is simply the process in reverse, sliding or twisting of the opposite ends of the track at the same time, you should be able to hear or feel a click when you are parallel. If you need, you can proceed to solder the rings closed.
While opening rounds of jumps is relatively easy procedure, you must be prepared to make some initial mistakes. As with most manufacturing techniques jewelry, all you need is a little patience and a steady hand. Once you have mastered these skills you can apply for other documents, adding more depth and complexity of its parts.
