Sterling Silver Large Spring Rings 12mm & 15mm

Sold by the piece. Spring rings are the most popular type of clasp used for necklace chains — secure, reliable, and easy to use. These large sterling silver spring ring clasps are round hollow tubes with a tiny coil spring inside and an attached jump ring for connecting to one end of a chain.

A movable, spring-tensioned bolt features a lever that you push back with your fingernail to open the clasp. The bolt is held firmly closed by the internal spring inside the tubing. Opening and closing a spring ring requires two hands. These large clasps include an open top jump ring for easy attachment to a chain end.

The open jump ring is often twisted to a closed position during attachment — however, this method is not secure. Do not use torch heat to solder the jump ring closed, as the internal spring will be damaged by heat. The correct method is to close the jump ring using a laser welder or tack welder.
