Over 4 decades Im a jeweler, take my advise Im driven to drive what I know...Those jump rings are not soldered on purpose at the factory....Why, because if the chain is tugged too much the jump ring is the give point,...If it were to be soldered more likely than not if the chain is given that big tug, then the chain will break, being far more damaged...So thats the truthful answer as to why nearly 95% of these jump rings ARE NOT soldered...Have a great day, peace... Fun video by the way
Yeah. Pretty logic - no need to hav e to repair a chain, where it is most likely to be seen. If in doubt, make a test with the end of the chain and the ring - if the chain breaks, find/maker a thinner ring.
