Jan 19, 2010, How to Troubleshoot Jump Ring and Wire Wrapping Problems

How to Troubleshoot Jump Ring and Wire Wrapping Problems

Nothing is more frustrating than a jump ring that keeps opening. It's a common problem for jewelry makers, and who wants to solder rings all the time. Of course, you could use split rings, but they aren't very pretty.

You can solve the jump ring problem once and for all (along wire wire bending, kinking, and snapping problems, wire wrapping problems, and more) by investing a few bucks in my e-book and learning package, Wire Work Secrets for Jewelry Makers, and trying one of the many tips and tricks I show you. You'll learn what the problem is, and learn multiple ways to solve it, along with much much more.

But before you go there, here's some customer feedback I've received:

"Christine, You are just the greatest! That audio of the Q&A wasperfect! You answered every question I asked, and that was sohelpful to me. (I'll probably be listening again, to make sure Ididn't miss anything.)

Thanks for making your time and expertise available to us. Iappreciate it so much.

Just this past week, I started working on making the links that youshowed us. I used the 18 gauge copper wire in approximately 7/8inch pieces. It turned out beautifully. I added moukaite (which isa new gem to me, but it is very pretty) and some glass beads and Iwore it yesterday to church. I thought you'd like to see it.

Thanks again!" Alesha Conklin, Haines City, Florida
