How to add a pinch bail on pendant?

1. Use a chain nose or needle nose pliers to gently open the pinch bail. Slip the pliers into the bail and exert pressure from the inside to avoid making marks on the silver.

1. Slip the prongs of the bail into the pendant hole. Gently press the bail closed by gripping the bail toward the top and exerting pressure. Position the pliers at the widest part of the bail. This is the most effective position to get the inside prongs to meet and securely hold the pendant. Don’t pinch the decorative area of the bail where the prongs are. The bail won’t close as tightly and there may be a gap between the inside prongs. Additionally you might mar the design with marks from the pliers and the pendant below could crack.

1. Your pendant is ready to use.

Those jewelry bails are not only made in different materials and plated in different colors, but also come in different designs. And please don’t ignore that those pinch bails will be a part of your design. That is to say, it is not only a finding on your necklace but also a decoration.
