925 Sterling Silver Pinch Bail – Clamped Pendant Blank Finding for Gemstones and Crystals – DIY Jewelry Making

Height: 18 mm
Width: 8 mm

The Jewelets 925 Sterling Silver Pinch Bail is a practical pendant finding designed to transform compatible gemstones and crystals into custom jewelry.

The clamped pinch setting mechanically attaches to the prepared or drilled area of the stone, allowing most of the gemstone to remain visible.

SUITABLE FOR
Natural gemstones
Crystals
Quartz
Crystal points
Drilled stones
Artisan-cut gemstones
Other appropriately prepared pendant components
CLAMPED PINCH SETTING

The attachment points are carefully positioned in the compatible drilled or prepared area of the stone and then gradually pressed inward to secure the gemstone.

This minimalist construction keeps the setting discreet and allows the natural stone to become the main visual element of the finished pendant.

JEWELRY MAKING AND REPAIR

Use the finding to create a new gemstone or crystal pendant or to replace a damaged or unsuitable bail on compatible existing jewelry.
