The different between drop, charms and pendants?

Posted by admin on Apr 28, 2011 in jewelry supplies | 0 comments

When it comes to pendants, drops and charms, there are lots of choices like European bead charms (clip on charms), crystal drops, prayer box pendants… They are all jewelry supplies used in beading. Although you can use pendants, charms or drops in beading, here I remind all jewelry maker the technical differences between the three.

drop, charms and pendants

The first is the simplest. A jewelry charm is smaller the 25mm and does not have a fixed bail. Then it’s a drop. A drop has a top-drilled hole that goes from one side to the other. It does not have a fixed bail, loop or jump ring, and does not need to be modified in order to lay correctly when strung. Just look at the crystal in my picture.

Pendants are pieces that are 25mm or larger (not including the bail, loop or jump ring). If it does not have a bail, loop or jump ring, then its hole will be drilled or punched from front to back. If a pendant is smaller than 25mm, it will have a fixed bail or loop (Swarovski is the exception). Look at the Thomas and the Tibetan in my picture.

Chains have been a mainstay of jewelry since humans learned to craft metal into decorative objects. A jewelry chain is an essential in any jewelry collection. It’s versatile, able to be worn alone or carrying pendants.
To start making jewelry chains, you’ll need to purchase an assortment of basic supplies for making wire jewelry. For example:
Beads: Beads are not strictly necessary for making jewelry chains, although many designs do incorporate beaded accents into the finished piece.
Wire: Wire is sold in sizes that are called gauges. For most general purpose projects, 20 gauge wire is sufficient. If you require lighter and more flexible wire, however, look for a spool of 22 gauge wire.
Jump rings: Some chains can be constructed entirely from jump rings, but these findings are also useful for adding jewelry charms and pendants to the finished chain.
Pliers: Many different types of pliers are used in making jewelry. If you’re just getting started, look for a kit that includes round nose, chain nose, and needle nose pliers.

Clasps: Whether you prefer a toggle clasp or lobster clasps, you need to have some way to open and close your finished chain.
