Product description
These findings will come in handy when making 14-karat Gold Filled jewelry —585 parts per thousand.
The unique feature of this double ring is that it consists of two rings soldered together.
Closed rings are essential in jewelry making; they come in various shapes and sizes and are also known as connecting rings.
Use this double ring to replace an open ring, for example, to finish a bracelet or necklace.
They are widely used to create secure finishes after stringing on fine thread such as nylon or cable wire.
In fact, beadworkers prefer this type of ring over open rings because they ensure the thread doesn’t slip through.
When choosing between an open ring and a closed ring—also known as a welded ring—the closed ring is preferable in cases where it does not need to be opened, as it provides greater strength.
Here are a few examples ofhow closed rings are used:
- A pair of earrings with a distinctly Japanese style, featuring a koi carp weave.
- A bracelet combining double and single peyote stitch in very autumnal colors. Check out our Miyuki kits.
- A brick stitch pattern featuring a rooster pattern, perfect as a long necklace.
What is gold filled?
Gold Filled is a process applied to a metal (often a brass base) that involves mechanically applying a layer of gold alloy of varying purity. The weight of the gold alloy accounts for 1/20 of the total weight of the product.
For those who are curious, we’ll explain the differences between Gold Filled and gold-plated so you can choose the material that’s right for you.
Much more durable than traditional gold-plated jewelry, a Gold Filled item will oxidize much more slowly.
If you want to further slow down the oxidation process, you should handle these items with gloves and avoid contact with perfumes, skin oils, and lotions. You should also store them in a dry, temperate place.
This product is coated with a layer of 14k gold to ensure an even color. The gold used in the manufacture of this product is recycled gold.
