Cosmic Pink Anodized Jump Rings — 20 SWG 5/32″ ID, AR 4.4 (1/4 lb (4 oz))

Description

Cosmic Pink anodized aluminum jump rings, wound from 20 SWG wire at 5/32 inch inner diameter.

The color is anodized into the surface of the aluminum rather than painted onto it, so closing a ring with pliers will not chip it back to bare metal.

These rings run an aspect ratio of 4.4 — inner diameter divided by wire thickness. A comfortable all-round ratio. Open enough to weave quickly by hand, tight enough to hold European 4-in-1, and the usual home for Byzantine and half Persian chain.

Twenty gauge is fine wire, meant for bracelets, chain, and detail work. It closes easily by hand and is not intended to carry armor loads.

Aluminum weighs roughly a third of what steel does ring for ring, which is why full shirts and long panels get built in it rather than in steel.
