Closing Stainless Steel Jump Rings

The easiest way to remove burs is to tumble the rings in a tumbler.

Save time by threading the rings onto thick wire so they stay together during the tumbling process.

Unfortunately, tumbling doesn't always remove all the burs. If any remain, you'll need to remove them manually.

I use pliers for this. I grip the end of the ring and rotate the pliers around it until the bur is gone.

This can be very time-consuming, especially if you're working on a necklace with over 300 rings.

Different jump ring sellers have different standards when it comes to finishing.

Some suppliers sell rings with the burs already removed.

While these may cost more, I find the higher quality is actually cheaper in the long run when I factor in the time saved.
