Hinged Bail - Crystal

Hinged bails make any pendant interchangeable. The secret is in the hidden hinge that allows you add or remove a pendant to suit your style. Attach your creation to the concealed ring and you're ready to clip it on your necklace.

Choose from three distinctive styles, Etched, Hammered and Crystal which is achieved with 3 tiny crystals you buy separately and glue-in.

Select from our assortment of Swarovski® crystal or use your own. Buy only what you need or keep several crystal colors and bails on hand so you can create whenever you're inspired.

Available in two nickel-free plated finishes: gold and rhodium.

Helpful Hints:

Instead of tweezers, use a toothpick with a tiny bit of museum putty or natural bees wax rolled on the tip. It will stick to the crystal so you can position it and releases easily.
If you get glue on the crystals or clasp, dampen (squeeze out all excess) a Q-tip in isopropyl alcohol to remove. This only works if the glue has not set.
