Split Rings

Split rings and key rings are versatile components used in jewelry making to attach charms, pendants, and other embellishments securely. Split rings are like miniature key rings but are made from a coiled wire that splits into two rings when opened. To use a split ring, you slide the charm or pendant onto the ring and then use pliers to twist the wire back into place, ensuring a secure attachment. This design provides a strong hold, making it ideal for frequently worn pieces. Key rings, on the other hand, are flat, circular rings often used to hold keys but also serve in jewelry making as connectors. They work by threading charms or other elements onto the ring and then closing it by pinching or crimping. Key rings are commonly used for creating keychains or as part of charm bracelets, providing both functionality and a decorative touch. Both split rings and key rings offer durability and ease of use, making them essential tools for adding and securing decorative elements in jewelry designs.
