Help with jump rings
| Hello, first time posting here. I made this hand chain a while back all 14k and I really love it, however, I barely wear it because I used 26g open jump rings to attach the chains together (circled). Since 26g is on the thin side I’m a little worried that if I stretch my hand too far or if it gets caught on something the rings will open up. I’m a very casual jewelry maker so I don’t have many tools (pliers are really the extent of it ????) and I was wondering if there’s maybe a small, affordable tool option I can buy to solder the rings myself or if it would just be easier to take it to a jewelry store so they can do it for me. I have also thought about using very small amounts of glue, loctite especially, to seal the rings but I’m not sure if that would be acceptable because of the type of metal and the proximity to my skin. Appreciate any help/tips! [link] [comments] |
