Choker Necklace Jump Ring Replacement

Giriş

If your choker and/or necklace has an intact 'lobster' or 'spring' clasp that has disconnected/fallen off from the necklace body, then this guide is for you! Make sure you have a 'jump ring' on hand along with 2 long-nose pliers. This fix requires patience and a clean work area due to the handling of tiny pieces that may get dropped or lost (hovering above a box or tray with tall sides is recommended).

Without releasing the hold on the loop ring and clasp, use the opposite hand to grab the end of the necklace that doesn't have the long chain attached to it. Carefully place the necklace end on the loop ring and release, allowing the loop ring to thread through it without having to move the loop ring.
