Turn an earring into a pendant with this custom beaded bail! (Video tutorial is included with PDF diagram). I thought the Georgiana Earring from my last post would make a lovely pendant, but the bails I had on hand did not seem to match the color or style very well, so I decided to make one. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!
About the design…
By incorporating some of the same materials, I could guarantee the color and style matched. I wanted something with a large enough diameter to fit over any type of strand: a chain, a ribbon, a 4mm cord (shown), or even a string of the same 4mm round beads. I was happy with the result. This bail could probably be customized to convert nearly any earring made with 4mm pearls or crystals into a pendant.
Materials
This bail requires a finished beaded earring component that is made with 4mm round beads or crystals (like the Georgiana Earring from my last post), three of the same 4mm round beads or crystals that match the component, and matching 11/0 TOHO seed beads.
