    The use of solder filled wire to make jump rings for soldering is a
    great time saver. There is one caveat though. *Joints must be
    straight and tight*. The solder in solder filled wire will not bridge
    gaps. Snipping a coil into jump rings will not produce the necessary
    flush cuts. The only safe way to achieve this is to saw the coil into
    rings. 

    Of course if your need is for only a few jump rings, they may be
    hand sawn. If you use many, your best bet is to use the Jump Ringer.
    With it you can wind and cut up to a three inch long coil into
    perfect rings with an inside diameter from 1.5 to 13 mm within 1 1/2
    minutes. It will do any jewelry metal except platinum, titanium and
    niobium up to 12 gauge. 

    Jump Ringer and accessories are available from most jewelry tool
    distributors in the U.S. and Canada.
