jump rings

Small metal circles

Jump rings are small metal rings used in jewelry making and crafts to connect components—linking charms to chains, clasps to bracelets, or beads to earring hooks.

They have a split that allows them to be opened and closed with pliers: She attached the pendant using a tiny jump ring.

The name refers to the gap that lets them "jump" onto other pieces.
