Jump ring query

[wheely]

I'm a twit and didn't properly read the description of what I was buying and bought closed jump rings instead of open. To make them usable for my purposes is it best to make them open with a saw or will sidecutters do?

You definitely need to saw them - and if possible, look for the original joint (you can often find this if you heat them to annealing temperature).

Side cutters will leave you with one straight(ish) side and a pinched end on the other side, which will never close neatly.

Or just return them to the seller and replace with open?

I've just looked and they don't do diamond cut open ones. Thanks for the reply, I'll get my saw out.
