Jump ring or lobster clasp

Five questions from the International Gem Society findings lessons. The join is the finding that connects one piece of a dangle to the next. Read a hang from the top: ring, then plate, then letter. The starter underneath still needs a closer.

A jump ring is which job?

A lobster clasp is usually which job?

A finished chain normally has a clasp at one end and a ring at the other. True or false?

An unsoldered jump ring can open under strain. True or false?

Swap a jump ring onto the wrist closer and a lobster onto the plate hole. What happens?

A split ring is a double circle of wire, like a key ring: slower to change, harder to lose. A spring-ring is the lighter closer; IGS notes the spring can stick. A hook-and-eye is a poor match for bracelets because it can unhook in wear. Dangle kits live under Kits. This quiz does not print a tensile spec.
