Raw Brass Jump Ring, Round, 5mm (ounce)

HINT

• When you open and close jump rings, twist ends instead of "ovaling" them. This keeps their round shape better, which makes them easier to close neatly.
• Raw brass items sometimes have a thin coat of oil. Warm water and detergent (dry to avoid water spots) or alcohol and a cotton ball are all it takes to remove it.
• Since brass is a copper alloy, prolonged contact may discolor the skin of the wearer. Raw brass items will develop a natural patina over time unless sealed. To speed up the patina process, try applying an oxidizing solution such as Win-Ox (#86-343) or liver of sulfur (#86-354).
