Pinch bails are used for top-drilled beads to create a dangle for necklace or earrings. They are easy to use and functional for jewelry-making.

Pinch bails have two prongs at the bottom which will insert into the hole of your top drilled bead. Wedge one prong to one side of your bead, line up the other prong to the other side of the hole and pinch the prongs together. If the pinch bail is difficult to pinch, use nylon pliers to help squeeze the bail. String through the bail with your choice of chain or our favorite, beaded chain.

Here are some examples of how we used pinch bails:

This Cross Tribe Pendant has a simple TierraCast® pinch bail strung on 30” of beaded chain.

Products used: SW01522, TC02316, CH00271.

Here’s a different take on how we used the pinch bail. Gently open the pinch bail and slide a TierraCast Hammertone Ring onto the bail. Then, slide the pinch bail prongs into the top-drilled, Swarovski Sun Pendant’s holes. Gently pinch the bail to close. Lastly, tie your chain into a lark’s head knot around the ring and add your clasp to your chain ends..

Products used: SW01107, A010862, CH00532, TC00613, A008801, Z006530

Create some lovely earrings like these from our December ’15 Swarovski pendant trend. Attach pinch bails to 16mm Swarovski pear-shaped pendants. Open two 4mm jump rings, and slide each through one side of a pinch bail and the bottom loop of an ear wire. Close each jump ring. Repeat. You now have a very classy and simple pair of earrings to wear!

We have the perfect holiday jewelry set for the fun and stylish fashionista.. Try this free tutorial on how to make these star blooms necklace and earrings using SuperDuos, o-beads and size 10/0 round czech beads. Make it just in time for the holidays!

SuperDuo Star Blooms Poinsettia Necklace and Earrings

Tutorial and Components

Created by our in-house designer So Vang, you can make this holiday theme, star blooms necklace and earrings set with this FREE illustrated tutorial.

Necklace Extra Tip

When you have finished stringing together your five components, we have two options on how to attach your 24” chain.

First, you can sew the chain at the end of the SuperDuo as shown in our photo below. Refer to the illustrated tutorial or image to see that you connect the chain end to the SuperDuo across from the connected SuperDuo of your side poinsettia component.

Or, secondly you can use a small gauge jump ring to slide through theSuperDuo like how we’ve shown here. However, not all SuperDuo holes are large enough for the jump ring to slide through. If it does not, going with the first option will be best to adding your chain.

SuperDuo Southwestern Star Bloom Style

Don’t think you are limited to just a holiday-hued necklace. Try out different combinations of colors and make it your own. We’ve used turquoise and deep coral to create ours above.

Our selection of Swarovski® 2017/2018 Collection: Nature of Us, is here. Our fingers were itching to create with them! Here are three jewelry pieces featuring some of the new items GoodyBeads received!
