Rings

Yes, brass rings are tough enough to be used in everyday jewelry, provided you avoid excessive exposure to moisture and chemicals. They can keep their shine for a long time, especially if properly cared for.

In DIY jewelry, the choice ofring is essential to ensure the strength and finish of your creations. Each type of ring has a specific function.

• The open ring is a small metal circle whose ends are not soldered. It can be opened and closed with two clamps, making it easy to connect elements together: charms, chains, clasps, pendants... It's a basic element in jewelry assembly. They come in different sizes, shapes (round, oval, etc.) and materials (stainless steel, brass, etc.).
• The closed ring is a welded ring that cannot be opened. It is often used as an anchoring point to hang elements via another ring or a wire.
• The double ring, or double spiral ring, resembles a mini key ring. It's made up of two joined spirals, which makes for a more secure attachment: once the item is inserted, it can't easily slip out. It's ideal for attaching charms or pendants to key rings, costume jewelry or accessories requiring a reinforced hold.

Each type of ring has its own advantages, depending on the project. For classic mountings, the open ring remains the most versatile. For greater strength, opt for a double ring.
