Sterling Silver Beaded Pinch Pendant Bail

This ornate sterling silver pinch-style bail features a tapered design with beaded and twist-rope details. It holds a drilled briolette, bead or other finding for a simple and elegant lightweight pendant. Simply open the bail, trim the pegs as needed and then squeeze or pinch the outer portion until the facing pegs begin to enter the holes of the bead. Slowly close the bail until both points are inside the bead hole. For a permanent mounting, use jeweler's epoxy to secure the pegs inside the holes. The bail is oxidized to highlight the details.
