Pendant Bails
Bails that turn a bead or stone into a pendant — plus the recorded 925 silver eyelet line that finishes large-hole beads, with 200 sold on record.
A bail is the small bridge between a pendant and its chain, and it decides whether a stone donut, a porcelain shard or a glass focal hangs straight or twists all day. Bails are a named line (jewelry bails) in this catalogue's findings section. The section's fully recorded companion product is the 925 sterling silver eyelet (grommet) for large-hole beads — $0.34–0.35, MOQ 200 pieces, and 200 sold on record — the fitting that lines and finishes the hole of European-style and donut beads so a bail or cord passes cleanly.
Bail buying fails on two measurements: the bail's inner clearance (will it take your chain or cord?) and its grip (will it hold your pendant's thickness or hole?). This page lays out the bail families and the eyelet line so your inquiry carries both measurements. Bail sizes and finishes in current stock are confirmed per SKU.

How buyers spec bails
- Clearance first. State the chain or cord diameter the bail must pass over — including the chain's end fittings, which are usually wider than the chain itself.
- Pendant thickness or hole. Pinch bails spec the pendant's thickness at the grip point; tube bails spec the hole diameter. Give the measurement of your actual pendant line, not a similar one.
- Eyelets finish the hole. On large-hole beads, a 925 eyelet both protects the hole edge and gives the bail a smooth seat. The recorded line shows 200 sold on its listing — order it on the same inquiry as the beads it finishes.
- Metal match. Bail, eyelet, chain and clasp should be one metal story. Mixed-metal pendants are a design choice, not an accident of separate orders.
Minimums, units and packing
The recorded eyelet minimum is 200 pieces at $0.34–0.35. Bail minimums are confirmed per SKU by family, size and finish. Send pendant type, its thickness or hole size, chain diameter and quantity — the reply covers the matched set.
Buyer questions
What bail suits a gemstone donut?
A pinch bail through the centre hole, or a tube bail if the hole is large. The donut page covers wearing options; spec the donut's hole size on your inquiry so the bail can be matched.
What record does the eyelet line carry?
Its listing records 200 sold at $0.34–0.35 with a 200-piece minimum — the fitting that lines and finishes the hole of large-hole beads, so a bail or cord passes cleanly.
Can bails be glued instead of pinched?
Glue-on bails suit flat-backed focals like porcelain shards. Adhesive choice and curing are production decisions — if you plan glue-on assembly, say so and we will confirm the bail style that fits.
