Splitring 8 mm Sterlingsilver for jewellery

8 mm is the split ring that is used as a binding ring. This means that it is used as a connection between two closed rings or as a counterpart to the lock.
The advantage of the split ring is that it is an open ring with the stability of a closed ring. So the jewelry wire can not slip out alone.
A split ring is the most stable of the real silver rings for jewelry making.
There is also a great tool for hanging a jewelry wire or a closed ring in the split ring:
Everyone knows the problems with the key ring, you have to open it a bit and then it closes again.
With the split ring pliers you hold the split ring open to insert the jewelry wire or the second ring.
You can find the split ring pliers in our shop at Schmuck-Werkzeug.
The split ring has the great advantage that the jewelry wire cannot slip through the opening, as with the open binding ring.
Key rings have the same principle as split rings, except that split rings for crafting are much smaller.
