A jump ring is a wire ring that is commonly used in the making of jewellery items and other small items such as key chains. A jump ring is a small ring that has been made by bringing its two ends together without welding or soldering, meaning that the ends are brought together without applying heat. In jewellery making, jump rings are small pieces that are attached to a necklace or bracelet. A charm or other jewellery item is attached to the jump ring through its suspension bale. The jump rings is twisted open to allow for attachment of the charm, and then closed together again afterwards.
Say the instructions call for your jump rings to be 18 AWG and you purchase 18 SWG rings. You will find more likely than not that the SWG rings will actually be a smaller wire diameter than the AWG even though they are both 18 gauge rings. This means that the SWG rings may be too small for the chainmaille pattern to work. Another term thrown around in chainmaille is Aspect Ratio.
