Help with Jump Rings - DIY or Buy

Hello talented people. I apologize for the newb question but hoping for some guidance on what should be simple to you all.

I made some custom logo keychains for my car guy friend group from laser cut brass and titanium that I designed and hand/dremel polishing.

I’ve realized the keychains will hang better with jump rings, but would like the rings also made out of a precious metal, either gold, silver, platinum, or possibly titanium to match the theme.

Looking to do 9-10mm 16ga loops but I do have a jump ring on a keychain already that’s the perfect size but unsure of its size or thickness. The hole in the keychain pictured is 4mm and 2mm away from the edge I believe.

My question is should I DIY these and get my own wire to create the loops myself? If so can you point me a good resource for creating about 25 jump rings before Christmas and quality tools to do it with?

I think it would be wise to learn how to do my own jump rings but would also be willing to pay for this first set to get these done by Christmas.

If someone is willing to help, please DM me and would be happy to pay for your time/materials. But I figure jump rings are very easy for you all and maybe someone has some laying around that will work and don’t mind parting with.

Preferably gold filled, silver, or any precious metal that will hold up as a keychain jump ring. 10mm 16ga is around the size I think I need but open to suggestions or similar sizes depending on what’s available.

I don’t want to just get the cheap 1000pcs of thin plated rings from Amazon as I’d like these to be fairly special for the occasion but open to suggestions.
