Round open heavy gauge in jewelry making allows you to work with larger gauge wire than your traditional round. It is a design element that is more and more popular in designs for spring, summer, and fall jewelry and accessories. Round-open construction allows for easy threading through the opening. This is useful when you want to attach something like a bead cap to your piece as well as allow you to use many types of findings such as jump rings or eye pins.

It also adds interesting texture lines to the piece making it less stiff when worn while having the weight of a solid object such as a ring, earrings or necklace. Sterling silver findings are available to easily use this type of round wire such as eye pins, jump rings, and hook ear wires. The round open heavy gauge jump rings can carry and hold jewelry pieces with a weight heavier than what a normal jump ring can.
