Experimenting with different styles of bails. These need some refining yet. Using cheap, soft, plated wire for this. Once I finalize each style, will move on to “real” wrapping wire. The wraps above the stones are a little loose, so I can easily remove the wire. I am trying to design something simple with a little uniqueness. 4 pendants This one is a little too fancy. Back to the drawing board. Someone wanted a heart necklace on a silver chain, “spring type adornments” by the bail. silv heart neck

OK, now you are talking Beth. I so want to do wire bails like that on the drilled glass. Watching close. I have a lot of industrial wires to try out. When I start making wire bails I will share my experiences. So glad you posted this. There is some fine Youtube tuts on making these too.

jamesp I am still trying to get enough nerve to drill a hole in one of your glass cabs. Working on a process.
