Sterling Silver Chain with Different Size Loops/Jump Rings

Project type
Sterling silver chain with additional 9ct gold. The loops (or jump rings) for this chain were made in multiple sizes and by two different methods. Method 1. Silver wire is wrapped around a mandrel to form a coil. The coil is then cut with a saw to produce individual rings. Once soldered, these rings are subsequently hammered flat and planished. Method 2 . Individual rings are sawn out of sheet silver, then planished. Planishing is where a ballpean hammer is used to create a dimpled surface effect.
