Love this method for sawing a small jump ring from @ sara_kratzer
“I needed to cut some jump rings in half. So I have a ring clamp that I cut with my jewelers saw. I made a pen line down the inside. Not super precise but a guide for lining up the open part of the jump ring. Then just carefully clamp 🗜 it shut and cut! Super easy, fast and no cut finger tips 🥳” I love this so much!
