Stainless Steel Jump Ring findings from Rings & Things: Most jump rings are made of sterling silver, raw copper, or plated brass, and are easy to manipulate. Stainless steel, on the other hand, is much harder... so as one reviewer noted, don't use your fine-quality jeweler's tools for stainless steel jump rings on a regular basis. Pick up a couple spare pairs of less-expensive pliers so you don't damage your best fine-tip jeweler's pliers on these tough jump rings. We recommend one pair of chain-nose, and one pair of bent chain-nose, or a pair or two of the new Lindstrom "stubby" pliers.
