Rather than taking time and extra money to have your jewelry fixed, this guide will show you how to repair and replace the jump rings and clasps on your necklace or bracelet in a few easy steps. No prior jewelry experience is required to complete this easy fix.

The materials needed will be a new clasp, new jump rings (circular chain piece)/backing piece, and a needle nose pliers.

Using a new jump ring, open it with the pliers and slide it into the necklace using the same pull-apart method.

Step 5

Take the new clasp and slide it onto the new jump ring.

Step 6

Close the new jump ring.
If the jump ring does not completely close, use the pliers to squeeze the ring gently so the ends come together.

If you need to extend your necklace/bracelet, take the new jump rings, and open them with the pliers. Linking them one at a time with the same open/close procedure as previously demonstrated, add them to the opposite side of the new clasp.
