Step 3Cutting your rings
Pick one end of your coil to start cutting.
Look for where the wire starts forming uniform coils. This will be where your first cut will be.
(If you are using precious metal, or do not have much wire, you will want to waste as little wire as possible, so cut as close to the beginning of the uniform coil as you can.)
Cut perpendicularly to the coil.
You'll probably only get one ring per snip. Don't force the coil in order to get more rings per cut--you'll get damaged rings and poor closure.
Do notice where the end of the coil is, and make your cut as close to full circle as possible. This will ensure that your rings will not have gaps when you close them.
