Click & Lock jump rings look just like regular jump rings and can be soldered closed just like regular jump rings. They are no more expensive than regular jump rings you make or buy. Click & Lock jump rings have a hidden mechanism that will give you a secure but not unbreakable closure between the 2 ends of the jump rings. To secure a Click & Lock jump ring, you need to use two pairs of nylon jaw pliers, one for each end of the jump ring, so you do not mar the ring. Grabbing one end in each pliers, you separate the ends, then twist and move the ends of the ring past each other. Finally, bring the ends together while pressing the ends together. You will hear a "click". That means the ends have secured.
Watch the video and with a little practice, you can make secure jump rings without the use of soldering. The joined jump ring can still be separated, but that requires some effort, so for most applications the joined ring is permanent.
Use the Click & Lock feature or not, these jump rings solder closed just like regular jump rings and cost just the same.
