jump ring

Small metal circle

A jump ring is a small metal ring used in jewelry making and chainmail, with a split that allows it to be opened and closed to connect other components: She attached the pendant to the chain with a jump ring.

Unlike solid rings, jump rings can be pried apart with pliers, making them essential hardware for linking clasps, charms, and decorative elements.
