Heidi – you sound like that old stereotype where the stubborn husband is lost and refusing to ask for directions. Your assertion that asking for help is a ‘millennial’ issue is ridiculous; in fact, teaching others how to make things and apprenticeships have been the norm throughout human history. Just because you chose to struggle instead of going to the library to read a book or asking someone else for help doesn’t make you special…. actually, it makes you sound quite stupid, and the only person who appears to be lacking common sense here is YOU.

P.S. It’s worth taking a bit of extra time to reread what you’ve written to check for spelling and grammatical errors, especially when critiquing the intelligence of others. You claim to be old, so surely you know that ‘u’ is not the proper way to spell ‘you’. Perhaps you need to re-evaluate the association you’ve made between only appearing smart and the existence of the internet.

This post was very useful as the problem I was solving was how to make a chainmaille bracelet as tough as possible so it could be worn at a manual job and not suffer too much wear or tear in daily use. The strength of Spilt Rings appealed for that reason but the cons you mention outweighs their potential use in my project. Nobody comes into this world with an instruction book for anything, so people like yourself willing to address issues like these is passing on KNOWLEDGE not just information. Thank you.

Thank you for posting this information. I am new to to chainmaille and was looking for a concise answer to just this question…When to use a jump ring vs. a split ring. To those of us who are new to this art, the answer isn’t obvious and it is far more sensible to ask a question than to spend a year flailing around and becoming frustrated and surly.

To Heidi’s question, I needed this information because I am not creating the jewelry myself – I’m ordering jewelry on Etsy as a birthday gift for someone. I know nothing about jewelry making. As I’m purchasing the gift, there is an option for a jump ring attachment or split ring attachment, so I wanted to research it before selecting which one to order for my custom charm bracelet. I think researching the answer is in fact a form of solving the problem.

I appreciate you posting this, but I’m curious who is asking this? Obviously, it’s clear what is made for what. I never watched anyone, took a class, asked a question and I’ll tell u my first year of jewelry making was embarrassing. I’m grateful I’m old and there was only a store which sold beads, etc. There was no internet. People never solve problems anymore, making everyone appear smarter, but in reality, no common sense.
