Six anodized niobium jump ring colors have just been added in 16 and 18ga. Select sizes have been added in 16 and 18ga to add vibrant color to your chain maille projects. Each jump ring is anodized after being saw cut. This means that the jump ring is completely anodized. More colors and sizes will become available as I make and build up my stock. If you don't see a size that your looking for just ask. All jump rings are "Made In The USA" right here in my studio.

The price of Argentium Silver jump rings have been adjusted to reflex the increase of rising silver market prices. In fact, between January 4, 2010 and December 31, 2010, the price of gold has increased approximately 27%, while the price of silver has increased more than 80%. The New York Silver Spot Price for silver hit $37.22 a troy ounce yesterday. Worldwide market demand for silver is growing, while supplies of silver are quickly disappearing. Is it possible that silver can hit $50 or more a troy ounce as it did in the 1970's? Nobody knows for sure, but one thing is for certain. A majority of my customers are looking for alternate materials to build up their inventory in preparation of the coming craft season. Base metal jump rings in copper, bronze, and jewelers brass are examples of affordable alternate materials for making chainmail jewelry. Anodized niobium is also a wonderful material available in vibrant colors for your jewelry creations. A few customers have already taken advantage of wholesale pricing on bulk purchases starting at $100 or more. You can email me for details on wholesale pricing. In the past we have choosen to use precious metals to attract highier end customers. But in these economic times, sales are harder to come by. If your going to succeed this craft season, isn't it time to also have a line of alternate and affordable jewelry for your customers?

I have decided to stop shipping outside of the United States starting today. The reasons for not shipping internationally are many. Just to name a few, Paypal does not cover any loses for packages lost overseas. USPS insurance cost are extremely high and customers do not want to add this cost to their orders. The cost to ship for most international orders has gone up to the point where some customers complain of the price. Sorry for any inconvience that this may cause to some of my steady international customers.

Happy New Years! I want to thank each and every customer for another successful year here at PK Jewelry 4u. I'd like to take this time to tell you what to expect this coming year.

Ready made jewelry in jewelers brass and bronze will also be coming soon. These are just some of the changes that will be taking place this coming year. If you have any questions or suggestions, just ask. Have a Wonderful New Year.

Silver filled jump rings are now available in 18 and 16 gauge. You can click here to view the new silver filled jump rings page. The silver filled jump rings are 1/10 or 10% sterling silver by weight. I've been working with the silver filled, and highly recommend this material as a great alternative to the higher cost of sterling silver. Properly closed silver filled jump rings will not show the brass core underneath. Silver filled bracelet and necklace kits should start to become available starting this weekend. More color options in anodized niobium have also been added. You can always ask for a custom blend of anodized niobium at check out.
