Silver Elegance and Gold Elegance are brands of jewelry findings that I purchase regularly, and I generally buy them at Michael's Crafts.  They are higher end products with a bigger price tag, so I wait until I have some 40% off coupons before I buy.

I've used these silver plated spring rings for making bracelets and necklaces, and they do an okay job.  They come packaged in a tiny plastic cubicle that is attached to a hanging card, and there are 8 pieces in the package, which is enough to make 8 pieces of jewelry.  Of course you also need some jump rings for the spring rings to connect to.

Unless I use Argentium silver jewelry findings, silver will tarnish.  These spring rings, although they are beautiful and shiny in the package, will tarnish in time.  My jewelry case is lined with a special material that resists tarnishing, but if I hang my jewelry on a jewelry display where it is exposed to the air, it will tarnish.

These spring rings are easy to use.  There is a small loop at one end where you can attach them to jewelry wire, securing it with a crimp bead and covering the crimp bead with a special hollow bead. 

The springs on the Cousin Silver Elegance Spring Rings are well made.  I purchased some cheaper ones on eBay and many of the springs broke - meaning I had to un-string all of my beads and re-string them.  When making jewelry it's worth it to spend more money and buy a higher end product so that your items last. 

I would qualify these spring rings as a higher end, quality product.  They look like true sterling silver when new, but they will tarnish.  The 8mm size is a nice size and are almost as easy to open and close as a Lobster clasp would be.  The package of 8 spring rings normally retails for around $4.00.
