THE METAL:
Stainless is a little harder to work than galvanized steel, but well worth the effort. #304 is the same grade that kitchen sinks are made from, and you know what kind of abuse you put your sink through. Stainless has no smell unlike galvanized steel, nor will it rust. It takes a beautiful polish by tumbling with WD-40 and cotton rags. It's also less expensive than #316.
These #304 rings have a matte finish. They polish up beautifully to a deep dark grey if tumbled. To polish, put the finished piece into a tumbler with WD-40 and cotton rags. Tumble for 4 hours, then change the soiled rags for dry ones. Tumble for another 4 hours.

THE CUT:
All of my rings are beautifully cut. I specially designed my cutting tools to give these rings an angle cut with no burr around the face. The angle cut means they assemble faster because the ends don't have to be as precisely aligned to produce a good closure as with a straight cut. These are not saw-cut rings so there is no burr around the face of the cut. The burr-free edge means you don't have to polish the finished work to make sure it won't rip nylons or scratch skin. This means you can knit faster, cheaper, and better than someone who doesn't use my rings.

I won't sell a ring I wouldn't use myself.

FAT BAGS:
Each bag has at least the quantity of rings stated. Other suppliers may offer counts that are as far out as +/-10%. Not me, I'm always over.

SHIPPING:
Free Shipping is via Canada Post Small Packet and has a typical delivery time of 10 - 12 business days in Canada, 12 - 25 business days in the USA and up to 17 weeks overseas. Please note this shipping method has no tracking or insurance so I cannot guarantee when or if your parcel arrives. If you'd like the peace of mind of tracking and insurance, please select "Premium Shipping" on checkout.These are great for making jump ring jewelry or as accents anywhere you need a ring. I manufacture these with a specially-engineered cutting tool that puts an offset angle cut on the face of the cut, making assembly fast and end line-up easy. These are not saw-cut, and so polishing is not necessary. Finish is a satin finish.

These half-hard rings are wound on a 3/8" mandrel and have a bit of spring to them, making these a little hardier on projects where jump rings tend to open by themselves. The actual inside diameter of the ring is .415" (10.5mm) and the wire diameter is .062" (1.57mm).

Packaged in bags of 500 and shipped via Canada Post Tracked Packet to guarantee delivery.
