The rings on this particular clasp are made from metal that is thin and soft enough to cut through with jewelry wire cutters. If you are using a different clasp that requires you to remove any of the rings, be sure to use household wire cutters to avoid damaging your jewelry wire cutters.
- Wearing safety goggles for protection, use wire cutter end cutters to snip the middle ring off of each side of a 30 x 24 mm rhodium plated cameo box clasp. Use a diamond file to smooth the clasp where you have removed the rings.
- With a pair of chain nose pliers, use the 4 mm, 20 gauge silver plated oval jump rings to connect ten 20 mm antique silver plated filigree connector links. Make sure that you attach the connector links with the long edges together, and that all of the right sides are facing up. See photo to see how the links should be attached.
- Use the oval jump rings to connect each end of the bracelet to one end of the cameo box clasp.
