Ask the Experts Findings Q&A

When ordering silver-toned O rings, how can you get the bright silver tone versus the darker silver tone, without buying sterling silver? I have bought many silver-toned O rings, and the majority of them are kind of gray. Thank you.

Findings most commonly called “jump rings” in jewelry, sometimes called “O rings,” come in a variety of finishes. If you purchase silver-filled or silver plated jump rings, you will get a true, lustrous silver look. If you purchase stainless steel jump rings, they will have more of a greyish cast.
