Reinforce your wired assemblies with these twisted 316L stainless steel protection rings, designed for strong, decorative finishes.
These 5 mm twisted protection rings in 316L stainless steel are practical primers for securing assemblies made from 0.7 mm corded wire. Their rounded shape effectively protects the wire at the clasp or attachment ring, where friction is most frequent. Discreet but useful, these primers extend the life of your creations while ensuring a clean, neat finish. They serve the same purpose as U-wire protectors, but offer a different aesthetic.
How do I use wire protection rings?
In your DIY projects, these rings are used when attaching your jewelry's clasp. Assembly is simple:
- Pass the wire through the bead to be crushed, then through one of the holes in the protection ring.
- Then pass the wire through the other hole in the protection ring, as shown in the additional photo.
- Finally, pass the wire back through the bead to be crushed and tighten the assembly.
The ring thus creates a protective zone between the clasp and the wire, preventing the latter from being damaged over time. This little element is particularly useful for necklaces or bracelets made of pearls, whether natural stone, resin, stainless steel or even glass.
Whether you're a beginner or already accustomed to creating your own jewelry, you'll find numerous tutorials and technical sheets on our site to guide you.
