Captive Bead Ring

The basic ring design is the captive bead ring or ball closure ring in which a bead with holes or dimples in opposite sides is fitted between the ends of a round ring. The bead is not attached to the ring and is held in place by the tension of the ring. Factors affecting how tightly the bead is held in place include the width of the bead, the depth of the holes or dimples in the bead, the hardness of the ring, the gauge of the ring, and the diameter of the ring. The amount of difficulty of removing the bead increases as the gauge and hardness of the ring increases. Ring expanding pliers may be required to release the bead of rings in small diameters or thick gauges. The ends should be rounded for easier insertion.
