I've just bought one of the following:

I've noticed that the jump ring that is threaded through the loop in the end of the lobster claw is not soldered shut, though judging by a tiny blob of solder (or blob of something) sitting uselessly on one side of the join, it looks like the jump ring really ought to be soldered shut (similar chains I have in silver from Cooksons all have their jump rings soldered shut).

Since I don't presently have any 18ct white solder, rectifying the soldering job myself is not really something I want to have to do. Is it reasonable of me to expect the jump ring to be soldered shut already and to ask for a replacement chain where the soldering is properly done?

Many thanks.

Mark.
