These are great techniques for making bails. Thanks for sharing. I'll be trying these so I can make my own pendants using beads, especially those unique beads that you don't know what to make of. ☺🙂❤

Awh - thank you so much, Linda ! This is one of my most popular videos. I hope you get a chance to whip some bails up. I haven't made any in a long time and you have brought this back to the front burner for me to make some more up. Thank you !!!

Hello Jenifer! Thanks for this great idea. I do have bails but sometimes I don't feel they compliment the piece I am working on. ❤️🌻

[@BellaRayneJewelryCo]

Hi Ileana - yes, this is a great alternative and then you know you will always have a bail. Just like with me, what I have on hand doesn't always feel right - and I like to match the shades of my silver and gold wires I am using so this is a way to make sure the shades match. Thank you for watching and leaving me a message. 😍

I've used Danielle's technique to wrap briolettes, too! Those are the hardest for me to wrap, so I really like using it for those! I still haven't figured out the difference between German style wire and regular wire, could you explain it?

[@BellaRayneJewelryCo]

Hi Terra - My understanding is the Craftwire is a softer wire and easier to manipulate - however, the German-style wire is a half-hard, medium-temper wire and is still easy to work with but with work-hardening, retains it shape and doesn't easily bend. I started out using Craftwire and now that I a getting more comfortable with some easy wire-wrapping, I moved over to the German-style wire for most of my projects - especially when I make jump rings and earwires. I hope this makes a little sense.
