Open Jump Rings on Lobster Claws
Sandy Paluzzi
Some spring ring and lobster claw clasps come with open jump rings.
You typically have to close those jump rings. However, if your
thread is fine it could easily pull through at some point. Try using
small 4mm soldered or closed jump rings between the thread and the clasp's
jump ring. They're typically thicker and won't work through.
