[Jewelry making - Article 00960] - [Orchid] Rubber jump rings

[Len and Judy Bjorkman]

========[ Invite a Friend - http://www.ganoksin.com/invite.htm  ]========

    I recently learned to do some chain mail in order to teach a class on
    it. There are rubber jump rings (which don't open...). They're cheap,
    come in lovely colors and work well in certain patterns. My question
    is: how long does this rubber last? Indefinitely? Years? Months? I
    got mine from Fire Mountain. Of course, they are made in China (which
    makes me wonder about lead content, but I'm not gonna go there). Does
    anyone out there know how long the rubber rings last? 

Thanks in advance,
