Under construction “The bails collection”

These new bails are cast in silver or red/yellow bronze, and carry two hooks at 90 degrees. The purpose of the 2 hooks in opposite directions is to accommodate pendants with different hanging rings and even to wear the occasional spare earring or ring as a pendant.

All bails are original handmade or hand finished designs, carrying their own unique small differences typical of individually made pieces.
