1/2 Pound Blue Anodized Aluminum Jump Rings 16G 5/16" ID (1500 Rings)

Great rings and stronger than you'd think. One question I had before ordering was whether or not the black would either crack or rub off - no worries. I've had no problems at all. In fact, after toying around with them, I went to their web site and while poking around - found they had a book of various chain weaves - so I picked it up too. Nice little book with huge color pictures and good instructions. One of the simple pluses of the book is the spiral binding so you can lay it flat while trying out the different chainmail weaves. They even tell you what size rings work best for each - which I found helpful being a noob. I started with the smaller rings found in the craft store - where many just broke in half while either opening them or closing them back into a chain I was working on! You can waste a lot of time, effort and money, or you can buy better rings! I'll be buying more from Chainmail Joe -

I love these. I usually work with 1/4 16g but just happened to have a project that needed the 18g and thought I would try these and see how they compare to my usual supplier. In the past when I have bought from a less expensive supplier, the anodizing would be poor and would chip when you bend the ring, or would rub off easily, no issues with these! They are anodized after cutting so the ends are also colored. They are more matte than shiny and there is variation with in the batch but I really like the subtle difference in shading in my projects. I hope to buy more soon and hope for different sizes soon.

I bit the bullet, and gave these a try: they are not so much blue, as a dark turquoise, or something. Not at all usable for the flag inlay I had planned to use them in. Chainmail Joe is a great outfit- their rings are always top notch....but these have to go on the back of the shelf. =/

These rings are perfect for the project I ordered them for. They are great value for the money and the coating is thick enough not to chip off while working with the rings even with uncovered pliers (as long as you are gentle). I have bought from this seller in the past and will buy from them again.

Used with TheRingLord's medium scales for a scalemail shirt project. Matches wonderfully with their gold scales, and are easy to open and close. Very sturdy. Ordered two packs for a 1900 scale project. If you're working with over 1500 scales, you will need more than one pack.

These rings are the best, high quality! Currently working on chainmail projects for myself & friends, these rings hold up & are working out perfect for what I’m making.Chainmail Joe was even helpful with the questions I asked & provided helpful tips. It was a pleasure doing business with this company & I’m looking forward to working with them again.

Great product. Holds up well doesn’t scratch easily only with a plier slip. Wish they were a like less expensive so I could buy all the colors and sizes. A multi size kit with ~500 rings of each size would be great for those starting a new color

I was so excited to receive this package in the mail. I was not disappointed. This certainly beats making my own jump rings! I love the uniformity of each jump ring. I will be purchasing more in different sizes.
