Protect and finalize your wired assemblies with these practical and decorative gold-plated 316L stainless steel twisted protection rings.
These 5 mm gold-plated 316L stainless steel twisted protection rings are indispensable primers for securing assemblies made on wire of 0.7 mm or less. Their rounded shape accommodates the clasp ring while protecting the wire from repeated rubbing. This system limits wire wear at the jewelry clasp, helping to reinforce the strength of your creations. Their twisted surface adds a slight decorative relief that blends harmoniously with jewelry with a gold finish. Discreet yet effective, these little elements ensure a clean, long-lasting finish for your DIY necklaces and bracelets.
How do I use wire protectors?
In your creations, these rings are used when attaching the clasp to a piece of wire-mounted jewelry. The principle is simple:
- Pass the wire through the bead to be crushed, then through one of the holes in your protection ring.
- Then pass the wire through the other hole in the ring, so that it passes through the outside of the ring.
- Finally, pass the wire back through the bead to be crushed to lock it in place.
The ring thus creates a metallic contact zone between the clasp and the wire, preventing direct wear on the wire and ensuring a stronger assembly. This type of primer is particularly useful for beaded necklaces and bracelets, where the strength of the clasp is essential.
