2 Gold High Quality Glue-On Flat Metal Bail – (26mmX9mm)

Description

Glue-On Bail

Why drill holes in a beautifully polished cabochon when adhesive does the job just as well? Jewellery makers working with flat-backed stones, resin pieces, or pre-drilled pendants turn to this glue-on bail when they need a reliable attachment that won’t compromise the integrity of their focal bead. The warm gold tone complements amber, tiger’s eye, and earthy gemstone palettes without the cold contrast of silver.

• Measures 26mm in length with a 9mm width that provides stable surface contact
• Rectangular bail opening sized at 8mm x 5mm accommodates most chain widths and cord up to 4mm
• Nickel, cadmium, and lead-free metal construction safe for sensitive skin
• Two flat metal bails per pack with smooth backs ready for E6000 or two-part epoxy
• Gold electroplated finish maintains colour consistency across multiple pieces

Bond this bail to the back of polymer clay pendants where drilling would distort the design, or secure it to tumbled gemstone slabs cut too thin for traditional wire wrapping. The 26mm length distributes weight evenly across larger pendant attachments—up to 40mm diameter stones sit balanced without tilting forward on the chain. Use it as a quick solution for converting vintage brooches into pendants by adhering the bail to the reverse side, or attach it to flat-backed vintage lucite cabochons that predate modern drilling techniques.

Clean both surfaces with isopropyl alcohol before applying adhesive to ensure maximum bond strength. The rectangular opening works well with omega necklaces and box chains that have squared or flattened profiles. Let adhesive cure for a full 24 hours before threading chain through—rushing the process compromises the hold. Pack of two means you can create matching earring pendants or test adhesive placement on a practice piece before committing to your final design.
