Quick Tip: Use Chain Links as Jump Rings

One of my favorite time and money saving tips is to use open chain links as jump rings in projects. An open chain link is one which has not been soldered shut, meaning that you can open it and use it just like a jump ring. Megan created the beautiful Emerald Spiral Earrings using this technique and I attached my focal pendant to a chain length (without jump rings) in the Enchanted Woods Necklace.
