    simply rub the headpins between some leather stropping,& tap the
    jump rings against a rubber anvil or filing block with a leather
    hammer to work harden the pieces..often just a well used (and
    therefore less abrasive) polishing cloth is enough to work harden
    pins and rings..using thick enough wire for the rings, even in.999 is
    adequate so they will not bend or distort..
