1 New Gold Glue-On Flat Metal Bail – (22mmx8mm)

Description

Gold Glue-On Bail

Does your gemstone cabochon deserve to hang without the commitment of drilling through its polished surface? This adhesive-ready finding solves the eternal problem of converting flat-backed pieces into pendants. The warm gold plating catches ambient light beautifully, while the generous 6mm internal loop accommodates most chain weights and cord diameters without crowding.

• Dimensions: 22mm total length by 8mm width at the adhesive base
• Hang loop opening measures 6mm internally for chain or cord passage
• Flat metal construction with warm gold electroplating over base metal core
• Smooth reverse surface engineered for maximum adhesive contact
• Single bail supplied per order

Resin artists bond these to cured dome pieces where drilling would compromise the translucent layers beneath. Wire wrappers glue them onto frame-set stones when traditional prong work isn’t feasible for irregular shapes. The 22mm length works particularly well on oval cabochons between 25-35mm, positioning the hang point just above the stone’s visual centre. Polymer clay sculptors appreciate how cleanly this attaches to curved or textured surfaces that resist traditional jewellery findings.

Use E6000 or two-part epoxy for permanent bonding—cyanoacrylate works for lighter pendants but won’t withstand repeated wear stress. The 6mm loop accepts up to 4mm round leather cord comfortably, or accommodates doubled fine chain for layered necklace styles. Clean both surfaces with isopropyl alcohol before application, then clamp for the adhesive’s full cure time. This warm gold tone photographs slightly deeper than standard plated findings, reading almost bronze in direct sunlight but true gold under indoor LED lighting, which means it pairs naturally with earth tone beads and autumnal colour schemes without clashing.
