Widen the links of a chain


With this tutorial, discover a trick to easily position a ring on a very fine chain.

This technique will allow you to give a round shape to the link, which will facilitate the entry of the ring.

 

The tools to use:

 a flat plier
 a reamer

Explanations: 

 

For this, use a reamer or a nail. Insert it into the link to be widened, then gently deform the ring.

It will become round and allow you to position the ring more easily. 

Be careful not to force too much as it could weaken the link.

This technique can only be used on chains with soldered links.

And there you go!
