- Will these rings rust or tarnish?
- The base is 304 stainless steel, which resists rust and tarnish well. The silver-color plating can wear off where pliers grip or where rings rub, exposing the steel underneath.
- What size wire and opening do these have?
- They are 18 gauge, about 1mm thick, with a 6mm outer and 4mm inner diameter. That inner size fits most small charms, clasps and chain links.
- How many rings come in a pack?
- About 50 rings, roughly 5g in total. That is enough for repairs and small projects but not for a full necklace or long chain.
- Can I open and close them more than once?
- Yes, with two pliers you can twist an open ring apart and close it again. Repeated bending weakens the metal, so avoid reopening the same ring many times.
- Are they strong enough for a bracelet?
- For a light bracelet with small charms, yes. For heavy pendants or anything that gets pulled, use thicker soldered rings instead.
- Do they work with sterling silver or gold-filled findings?
- They work, but the silver-color plating is not sterling silver, so the color may not match exactly and will wear differently over time.
