    You asked how bees wax is removed from jump rings after being cut
    With a jewelers saw blade in a coil cutter. 

    Generally, the sterling jump rings that i make are used for weaving
    Chains and are not soldered. The bees wax is removed from the
    finished chains during tumbling with a small amount of detergent
    added to the water and stainless sreel shot in the tumbler. 

    There are a few chains that require soldering of some of the jump
    Rings. I generally use paste solder for this operation and do not
    clean the jump rings prior to soldering. 

I hope this is helpful.
