1 Pound Bright Aluminum Chainmail Jump Rings 16G 5/16" ID (3000+ Rings)

This is easily the best price you'll find for the quality of aluminum rings. I've used small kits and done small community projects with similarly sized rings but I could pry open and close the rings with my fingertips - these I can barely budge without my pliers. This to me means that any maille I make will stay stable. I did accidentally buy bright rings over anodized rings and didn't realize that until after they shipped. The amount of tarnish I've experienced is fairly minimal though. I do have a bit of residue on my fingertips after maille sessions even after washing the rings initially, but it's fairly minimal and quickly washes off, and there is no wear reflected on the rings themselves. I haven't noticed any residue getting on my clothes as I work and this gives me confidence how it'll respond to whatever I wear underneath it. I'm in the long haul with my first project being a Hauberk, and I'm already halfway through one of the two bags I bought to start myself out. While I may attempt making a round of rings myself if I find a similar sized and quality wire just for the experience of it, I'm definitely coming back to buy the rest of the rings I need for this project from Chainmail Joe, as well as any other project in the near future.

I'm a long-time jewelry mailler/minor dabbler in small armor pieces who has tried about everybody's stuff, and when I saw these, I was intrigued due to the "no gray residue" claim. I'm glad I took the risk and got a pound for a larger project. The rings I received are: -Well-sized, and seem equivalent to other vendors' rings with this measurement -A good balance between soft and hard; not as hard to work as steel, but I think they won't pull apart with wear like copper. I was concerned because they're an alloy, not pure aluminum, but they seem quite comparable to aluminum's strength and weight. -Don't leave gray residue on my hands and clothing while I'm weaving like pure polished aluminum (at least not so far; I'll have to wait and see how they wear) -Have no apparent nicks or scratches near the opening like certain other vendors' rings too often do these days -Have no burrs at the cut like certain other vendors' rings too often do these days and happily aren't leaving flakes of metal on my weaving surface and clothes -Are cut straight; so far, no awkward acute angled cuts (again, unlike lots of rings I've received lately from that other vendor) -Arrived well-polished instead of being advertised as "bright" but actually being very dull and accompanied on the vendor's sale site with a smug warning note about how if you want to use actual brightly polished aluminum rings, you can go buy an expensive tumbler and learn the fine art of tumbling You may be sensing my dissatisfaction with increasing quality control problems from another large jump ring vendor who is a primary supplier to the community; if so, you're right. If I continue to receive this quality of product, I'll be switching my bright aluminum business from them to Chainmail Joe whenever possible.

Have ordered and re-ordered from Chainmail joe multiple times, and will continue to do so. Excellent consistency in rings, low defect rate, and size and thickness exactly as described.

Very nice as expected. Perfect for out scale male project!

These are great rings in bulk. I have made 4 sets of helm weave chokers, braclets & earrings and still have more than half left. Good quality size is as ordered. Color well its steel as ordered... on to the next project

I will say for some chain mailers out there the ring's metallic finish rubs off but the rings do work, the size is 16g 5/16" as advertised, the bendability is easy to utilize, pretty sturdy, can be used for making a scrubber or potentially chainmail works like chainmail shirts for LARPing or cosplay.

I like this product. I am new to this hobby and have only played with the Midwest products Chain maille kits that Amazon sells. I find those rings are difficult to close. These rings close fairly easily compared to those. Someone who is more experienced may have an even easier time then I did. These are shiny and look to be of good quality as far as I can tell from my limited experience. I will say that if you are looking to create fine jewelry, you don't want aluminum. You probably want silver, bronze, gold, or anodized Niobium. You can get all of the above from The Ring Lord or Blue Buddha (more expensive but in the US). For me, these are perfect to learn with. There are many weaves I have to learn and doing it with aluminum is best because it's cheaper. I love that I got so many for a great price. It works out to about less than 3/10 of a cent per ring. I weighed the bag of rings and I got 17 ounces. A pound is 16 ounces, so I got more than what I paid for. Always a good deal. Bottom line is that for a beginner or someone experimenting with a new weave, these are perfect. Great quality, great price, and easy to work with. I will buy more when I run out of these. My only wish is that he would come out with colors or a variety of sizes.

I have purchased these multiple times. Every time I am very happy. The rings are all great. They are exactly what I ordered and came very quickly. I will be ordering more in the very near future for new projects

Great product wish i could get more as they where the cheapist rings i could find

genau was ich gesucht hatte, super Qualität, einfach zu biegen. Sehr gut wenn man selber Schmuck oder Kettenhemden o.ä. machen möchte. Werde auf jeden Fall bald wieder eine Packung bestellen, wenn meine leer ist.

Great quality. Need them to make keychains so that the charm doesn't fall off the chain and these work great. Very durable

i am very happy with the jump rings, the price was great value for money and the delivery time was perfect.

Do you want 1/2kg of Aluminium Jump rings? Well if so this contains nearly that amount.
