Pendant Bails & Pinch Bails for Jewellery Making

Explore pendant bails and pinch bails for connecting decorative pieces to necklaces. Choose a shape and finish to complement your pendant, then check how the bail attaches and how much space it leaves for the chain or cord.

The listed small bails include gold-plated, rose gold-plated, silver-plated and rhodium-plated brass options. These are surface finishes rather than statements of solid precious-metal construction. Compare the exact product specification when matching the bail with your necklace and other findings.

The 7mm examples give approximately 7 × 2.7mm outer dimensions and approximately 5 × 2.5mm internal measurements, supplied in packs of ten. Larger matte gold examples have different dimensions, openings and quantities. An outer size does not establish the opening available for a chain or the pendant attachment.

Check both connections before ordering: the pendant must suit the bail's attachment method, and the chain or cord must fit its usable opening. A pinch-style fitting and a different bail construction may require different handling. Follow the selected product's assembly guidance, identify any additional connecting components needed and test the fit without forcing parts. Confirm the pack contents and allow enough pieces for matching accessories or samples before completing your necklace design.
