Hello esmeraldab100, You are so welcome! Thank you for your comments. I appreciate it. Greg Greenwood
Thank you. The bail has been the most challenging part of pendant making for me. I’m going to try using tubes now
Hello Luna, Yes they can be. Before you start to work with the tubes, watch my video "No Kinks! Cutting and Bending Sterling Silver Tubing". This will make your life much easier. Thank you for watching. Greg Greenwood

Hello Yolanda, Thank you for your great comments. I appreciate it. You are absolutely correct. All elements of the jewelry design should be in harmony. Bails are definitely an important element. Many people forget that and just "plunk" the pendant on a chain. Thank you for subscribing. If you have any questions in the future, please feel free to let me know. Greg Greenwood

Hello Virginia, Thank you! Glad you enjoyed. Greg Greenwood
Eyyyy! New video
More to come! Keep watching. Greg
Thanks for the examples which inspired me. My favorite bail is a 28 ga. sheet on to which I solder 24 ga. round wires that outline the marquis shape of the the bail blank. Trim and file the blank so the seams are removed. Then bend the blank at the widest point in the middle. The thicker edge of the bail causes the bail to form a pleasing concave at the top. Very classic. On another note, what were the plastic rods used in several of your pieces and where can they be purchased. You used them very well.
Hello Malcolm, I can picture the bail with the concave top. Very Nice. They are acrylic rods. Most plastic supply houses will carry them. Thank you for your comments. Greg Greenwood
Most groovy!
Thanks Flying! Greg Greenwood
Cool
Thank you for your comment. Greg Greenwood
Pleeease warn about bails that let pendants (of various lengths and vertical weight distributions) lean forward vs keeping the back functionally flat when suspended! Thank you.🌹
Hello Roesemarie, Thank you for the reminder. I appreciate it. Keep watching and keep in touch. Greg Greenwood
Glad to have found your channel! I have a question, how do I close stiff stainless steel pinch bails like the first one you showed without scratching or distorting it? I even have the nylon covered clippers but its so hard!
Hello Global, The stainless steel bails can be a problem. Your nylon pliers are the best bet. But I have used padded (use masking tape) on the vise jaws. This gives you a little more squeeze power to close them. I hope this helps you. Thank you for watching. Greg Greenwood
You are a genius! Where do you live?
Hello Renee, Thank you for your kind comment. Wisconsin, US. Greg Greenwood
Hi very nice video. What type of bail is goof for a flat necklace chain (not rope type).
Hello Charles, That is a great question. I would build a flatter bail that would match the flat of the chain. You could also use a tube and flatten it to match the chain. I hope this helps you. Please feel free to ask any questions, anytime. I am here to help. Thanks Greg Greenwood
Hi Greg, I am too busy in this days, maybe in the weekend I try to solder something.
I bought a brass rod inclusive.
I will try with silver and brass.
Brass rod comes with a comer of flux, I don't need to add anything else?
I have all that I need now.
Best Regards.
Hello Ricardo, Do you have the borax flux? Sounds like you have a brazing rod with flux on it. This will not work for the type of soldering we are doing. Check out my video " 5 Secrets to Perfect Soldering" Good Luck. Greg Greenwood
@@greggreenwood4628 Hu Mr Greg, I bought Stay-Silv flux, is white.
I don't know if this flux works for me.
Best Regards.
I have a rough size citrine pendant where it's small soldered piece came off. Do you know how I can easily make a pendant out of it again? The small metal thing that attaches to the stone came off so it has nothing to hold it. New to this stuff
Hello Helen, It sounds like you have a prong that has broken off. To fix it correctly, it must be soldered back on. Or you can redesign the pendant with different prongs or maybe wrapped wires. If you are uncertain how to solder it back together. Practice soldering on other pieces until you get better and then solder the prong back on. It never hurts to wait until you feel confident to do the job correctly. Keep on watching and practicing. Greg Greenwood

Hello Mimi, Thank you. Keep watching. Greg Greenwood
Greg ..... I have a 7mm thick chain and I want to hang a pendant to it using a large stainless steel bail or silver. Where can I find such a bail, and what tool do I need to open the current bail on the pendant I have. Thanks
Hello Avery, You can make a bail using a large jump ring or Rio Grande Jewelry Supply has some pre-made bails and components that may work for you. As for the current bail. Usually we use 2 pairs of needle nose pliers and open the bails with those. Good Luck Greg Greenwood
🙏👍
Thank You. Greg Greenwood
Hello Mr. Greg, I would like to know what type of a 120V soldering kit should I buy for my Costume brooches I have been gifted with all of my grandmothers brooches she passed 3 months ago, They are made from Alloy & some are cooper but coated in a silver color & some are gold colors they are all costume brooches with some rhinestones. I wanted to know how to create a loop on the back of each brooch so I can repurpose them as a jeweled tree ornaments for our X-mas tree so I may attach a ornament hook to hang them on our X-mas tree this year. could you please give me some advise what or where to purchase these items I would like to cherish these brooches & keep it in my family for Christmas ornaments my children have great memories when Nana wore these brooches daily, It is too fancy for me to wear them, I am a simple gal but I want to turn these into ornaments to hang them on our Christmas tree we cherish Christmas it was the best memories we have of our Granny-Nana. Mr. Greg your advise will be appreciated thank you. If you haven't already made a video of this request? Could you please make one real soon :)
Thank you
Hello Myrna, Thanks for your question. I think it is a wonderful idea to convert your grandmother's jewelry into ornaments. There are many ways to attach jump rings to the jewelry, so look at the designs of the pieces and see if it might be possible to drill a hole into some of them and put a jump ring through the hole to hang. As for the soldering iron kits, there are many on Amazon at a very inexpensive rate. They even include the low temp solder that you may need. Less than $20. To learn how to use the soldering iron, there are many RUclips vids that show you how to use the iron. Just remember to clean the area that you will solder by scraping the area with a knife or blade. This will get down to the base metal and the solder will work well. You can make your own jump rings (See my video on making jump rings) or you can buy them at any hobby/craft store. Copper or brass will be a good choice. Good luck and let me know how it goes. Greg Greenwood
Mr. Greg Thank you I really appreciate your feedback I am going to buy one soldering gun at amazon & see when I can get started on this project with my daughters.
Thank you
Myrna
Hello Myrna, Sounds like a great family project. Enjoy. Greg Greenwood
I would like some advice on how to turn a pendant into a ring that I can wear. Pendant is .936 silver surrounding a pear shape Sapphire
Hello Nick, Thanks for your question. If you could email me photos that would help. Look at my channel home page. My email is there. Thanks, talk to you soon. Greg Greenwood
I have a large copper and turquoise cross with a standard bail but I have 3 chains that need to go thru the bail it's too small for all 3. I just have it tied on with a piece of leather cord I want something that looks cleaner. Still looking.
Hello Shannon, Try making a larger bail that will fit into your small bail. It could be in the shape of a cross that will relate to your copper and turquoise cross. Let me know how it goes. Greg Greenwood
Can i squeeze the end of my chain where the little loop is that the clasp hooks on to a little bit with small pliers to make it fit through the bail of a pendant i have, or is that not a good idea, it seems straight forward as long as im careful, the pendant and chain are both 10kt???
Hello David, Yes, that is perfectly fine. And yes, be careful because the jump ring may open a little bit. Then you can always close it. Another way is to just remove the jump ring, put the chain through the bail and then put jump ring back onto the chain. Good luck and have fun. Thank you for asking!! Greg Greenwood
@@greggreenwood4628 thanks, i will give it a try carefully👍
@@greggreenwood4628 i don't think i acually worded it right, i mean the other end of the chain not the clasp end, the oposite end where the clasp attaches, that little half c loop thing is what i need to squeeze a little bit
@@greggreenwood4628 the end cap i think is what people call it on the end of the chain oposite of the clasp end, thats what i was trying to say i need to squeeze together a little bit to pass it through the bail of my pendant unless its not a good idea??
Hello David, OK, I understand what you mean. Yes, go ahead and squeeze it a little. It should be ok. Thanks. Greg Greenwood
Can anyone suggest a place i can buy a bail, for a small bar style pendant? It came on a 1mm chain (Which i don't want to use) and the bails ive been finding (actually ordered some) are to small to fit the end of my 3mm chain through it.
Hell DoSe420, You can try Rio Grande Jewelry Supply. Or you could make one. Greg Greenwood
@@greggreenwood4628I'll checkout where you suggested, but I'm not a diy person when it comes to this type of stuff.
Hello DoSe420, That's OK. have fun. Thank you for watching. Greg Greenwood
Wonderful overview on bails, very useful. Please do not add music to any DIY demo, tutorial, or tour. Ruins the experience. Makes it hard to focus for some people and a huge irritant.
Hello MJ, Thank you for your insightful comments. I really appreciate it. This is a question that I have debated with myself several times. Music or no music. I will for sure keep your suggestions in mind for future videos. Thanks again. Also, I am glad the overview of the bails was helpful. Keep watching and keep the suggestions coming. That way we all learn together. I always want everyone to have a good experience when watching my videos. Greg Greenwood
Mi chain doesnt fit in my pendant (chain is wider than the bail) , is there anyway to made it fit without soldering?
Hello Sara, I know the problem you are having. I can be frustrating. Here is what I do to open the bail up. Get your metal tapered scribe and push it into the bail. Force and twist it into the bail at the same time. This will stretch the bail opening and make it more round. This works most of the time. But, if it does not. Put a jump ring in the bail first and then put your chain through the jump ring. You can make the jump ring any size to fit your chain. Check out my video on jump rings. Let me know how this goes. Thank you for your question. Greg Greenwood
Hello Sara, I am just checking to see if my reply and suggestions went through to you. Thank you.
Where in the world can I find one of these “Basic Bails” looked everywhere
Hello Jud, Rio Grande Jewelry Supply has many premade bails that could work for you. Thanks for watching. Greg Greenwood
@@greggreenwood4628 yeah thanks pal. I checked there but haven’t found a good one yet. I’ll see if I can search deeper into their online catalog.
Hello Jud, If you can't find one, you could make one to your specs. Greg Greenwood
Easier said than done. I’ve tried a few things lock washers, brass pole bottoms, to no avail. If you have any suggestions I’d be glad to hear them.
Hello Jud, The most basic bail is a oval piece of sheet metal that is tapered and pointed at the two ends. It is the first example in my video "15 ways to attach a Jewelry pendant" . You can cut this out of sheet metal with shears or a jeweler's saw. Then all you have to do is bend it in the middle and touch the pointed ends and solder. I hope this will help you and that I have answered your question. Let me know how it goes. Greg Greenwood
What if your pendant isn't metal
Hello Monica, Thanks for asking. There are many ways to attach non metal pendants. Check out my video "5 Secrets to Perfect
Rivets" . This may give you some ideas. Thanks for watching. Greg Greenwood
