These stunning silver plated pewter rings with s-cuts are a great, versatile addition to any jewelry maker's collection. Their sterling silver color is accented by the delicate "s" shaped etching across the surface of the ring. The plating of this pewter component offers all the beauty of silver at a fraction of the cost. Jump rings are great all-purpose connectors, although you can also use them as primary components for chain maille and other types of jump ring jewelry. Closed jump rings are jump rings that have been soldered closed. By themselves, they lack the ability to attach to anything else. Because they do not open, they are especially useful on the end of a necklace for the clasp to hook on. Make sure to check out Artbeads.com's large selection of base metal jump rings.
