How to make jumprings for jewelry

Check out this article I wrote about how we make our jumprings for our chainmaille jewelry.

clipped from www.chainmaillebymboi.com At Chainmaille by MBOI we make all our own jumprings.  We start out with raw wire. Any wire can be used; depending on the strength of the wire, some are harder to work with than others. We then coil the wire on a mandrel using a power drill. We use slotted mandrels so that you can insert the wire on the end to hold your wire stable while you begin your coil. Once your done coiling your wire on the mandrel are left with a solid metal coil that is ready for cutting.  Depending on how you chose to cut your rings, you may have to add a cutting lubricant to your finished coil.   This preserves the life of your cutting blade. Now that you have coils it is time t o cut it into individual jumprings. You can use wire snips, a jeweler’s saw, or some type of mechanical cutter. We use a Jumpringer to saw cut our rings. Saw cut rings leave the ends flat and clean so that you can achieve better flush closures.

Byzantine Keychain by My 9 Year Old Son

Proud Daddy, need I say more. He is so exited about making his own url=http://www.chainmaillebymboi.com/index.html]chainmaille[[/url]

Anyway thanks for looking.

clipped from andrewk1969.deviantart.com Artist’s Comments Now this isn’t his first piece, he made a couple 2 and 2 chains before this. But this one was his design, and started putting it together as soon as I taught him byzantine. The only parental help was putting the stone in. So be kind as he is really excited about this and I plan on linking him in to this post for a ego boost because he tried really hard on the concept and closures.

Hand Painted Fall Cruet Set

Check out the link below from ivonnardonascreations. Thank you for the lovely compliment on my wife’s painting, I’m her biggest fan.

clipped from ivonnardonascreations.blogspot.com These are a gorgeous pair of cruets by MakintheBestOfIt. This set is said to “take you from fall colors through the holiday season.” I can totally believe it and I love the leaves that have been painted with a shimmery gold paint to catch the light from any angle.
