Not what I expected
Date:December 11, 2011
Pros: sterling silver
Cons: Fragile, Quality
Creation: Glasses holder
"I use split rings when I fear an open jump ring will come lose and I've always found split rings to be sturdier. With that expectation I used these specific ones when making a glasses holder, to my surprise they came back "broken" within a few days. After inspecting it closer the split ring had unraveled to a swirly looking piece of metal. Maybe with lighter projects, such as a small bracelet, it'll be fine, but it wasn't as strong as I was hoping."

"I love that split jump ring. It's the best and fastest way to add charms and connect toggles, which I use a lot in my work. It's a staple in my jewelry making."

Not very sturdy
Date:October 25, 2006
"These seem to loose their shape once the charm is added because the silver is so soft."
