Pendant Fittings?

(1/2) > >>

arcos:
What started out as a honey dipper ended up being a number of drop pendants (dont ask!)

Anyway, I watched a video a few weeks ago where a guy turned a very nice drop pendant but drilled a hole BEFORE turning (oh for square wood!)

Well, I am pretty pleased with the way they have turned out and just had a play around with shapes and 'ideas'.

A couple I can drill (when I find a small enough drill bit), the others need some kind of fitting/clasp?

Anyone produce drop pendants? What fittings do you use?

I will be off the the Chinese shop in my nearest city tomorrow (yes, a hospital visit) where I have seen a selection of fittings. I am guessing that they come in a range of designs and sizes. Any recommendations appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi Arcos, Just Google "Findings" and take your choice. Regards John

Also if you have a hobbycraft store near you they do a range of findings, Axminster do some as well but they are a bit expensive.

Have you searched eBay, the mail comes to you.

Hi Arcos,
From other posts I believe you are in Portugal, not the UK but I deal with a local bead shop who sell all sorts of bits and pieces for making up jewellery. I have just looked at their website and they do ship to Europe at quite reasonable costs.
As John Smith, a google search of 'Findings' should find what you want, and maybe a local shop, but if you want to try Spellbound, their website is:-
http://www.spellboundbead.co.uk/category/43/Findings
That is their 'Findings' page, but you might find some of their other stuff interesting.

And they have a 'Techniques' page which I have found very useful for tips on how to use their products.

Hope that helps,
