Using a twisting motion, gently open the ring just enough to slide your charm, clasp, or chain onto it. Avoid pulling the ends directly apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"755\" data-end=\"995\" class=\"\"\u003eA STEP 2: ADD YOUR PIECE\u003cbr\u003eSlide your desired piece—such as a charm, a clasp, or the end of a chain—into the opening you've created on the jump ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"755\" data-end=\"995\" class=\"\"\u003eSTEP 3: CLOSE THE SEAM\u003cbr\u003eTwist the ends back together until they are perfectly aligned. With the ends touching, use your pliers to gently squeeze the ends together until the small post on one end of the ring inserts into the tiny hole on the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"755\" data-end=\"995\" class=\"\"\u003eSTEP 4: LOCK THE LATCH\u003cbr\u003eLocate the small, hinged latch on the outside of the ring. Fold the tiny latch down over the seam where the two ends meet. Once the latch is in place, the two ends are securely locked, creating a permanent connection without any need for soldering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"997\" data-end=\"1056\" class=\"\"\u003eIMPORTANT FINAL NOTE: Once the latch is folded down and the link lock is secured, the connection is permanent and cannot be undone.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Betty Brite Findings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67768714297411,"sku":null,"price":7.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0277\/7933\/4211\/files\/SS_link-lock01.jpg?v=1792777363","url":"https:\/\/bettybritefindings.com\/products\/sterling-silver-link-lock-jump-ring","provider":"Betty Brite Findings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
