Origins of material

I saw these photos posted today by my jump ring supplier, The Ring Lord, and they are pretty incredible and exciting to see!  Check out the rail car delivering 40,000 lbs of stainless steel wire that will eventually be made into jump rings.  It is very cool to have a visual of the beginning stages of my jewelry materials....I'm sure some of this wire will eventually make its way to Chicago - and on to the necks, wrists, ears, and fingers of my customers - maybe you!
