A locking jump ring is an apparatus that is used to allow for connection of other chains or looped devices, particularly for the addition of decorative charms or ornaments to existing jewelry. The apparatus includes a U-shaped body, a first claw, a second claw, and a fastener. The first claw and the second claw are joined to the U-shaped body on opposing ends. The first claw and the second claw are oriented away from the U-shaped body, so that the first claw and the second claw point towards each other. The fastener comprises a male portion and a female portion. When the first claw and the second claw are pressed towards each other, the male portion engages with the female portion, locking the present invention into a closed configuration.
