What Are Stainless Steel Connectors?

➤ Definition:

Ball connectors are used to link other components like charms, chains, or beads. They act as the central or linking element in a piece of jewelry.

➤ Materials & Finish:

• 316L or 304 stainless steel: High-quality, tarnish-resistant, hypoallergenic
• Finishes:
  • Brushed (matte)
  • Polished (shiny)
  • PVD-coated for gold, black, or rose gold effects
• Laser-cut or CNC-milled for clean edges

How Jump Rings Connect Everything

Jump rings are small metal loops (usually round or oval) that open and close to connect components:

• Used to attach charms to ball connectors
• Allow free movement or dangle action
• Can be soldered closed for extra security
• Available in different sizes and gauges (thickness)

Stainless steel jump rings are preferred for their strength and tarnish resistance — especially for long-lasting designs.
