Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓If your dangling earring has suddenly fallen apart, making it unwearable, odds are the jump ring has opened a little too far. Although jump rings are made of soft, flexible metal, and fail easily and often, thankfully they're also very easy to repair.
To fix your jump ring, you only need a pair of tools that can be easily found in any hardware or arts-and-crafts store: two needle nose pliers.
As jump rings are very small, we recommend working in a well lit area.

Gently twist the pliers in opposite directions until the gap is wide enough to reattach the jump ring to the ear wire.

Grasp the ear wire (if applicable) and insert its loop into the opening of the jump ring.
