Double Opening Interchangeable Pendant Connector

I have been looking for this product for three years! Now I can add - or not - any pendant to any set of beads I have. A bit tricky to open the first time, but after that it's easy. Shipping performance was excellent.

I got these in order to be able to wear some of my pendants on thicker chains that they otherwise would not fit. Also, I was hoping it would make changing pendants on any of my chains quicker and easier, since I could just clasp them on instead of threading it onto the chain. And, these do work for those things. What I hadn’t been able to picture was how much farther the pendant would hang down and if it would look nice. The answer is…it depends. The connector is about an inch long, so very small pendants might look odd with this inch long connection similar in size to the pendant itself. For a larger pendant on a chunkier chain, it’s not bad. It’s really a personal preference. The clasps seem pretty secure, although I had a little difficulty getting them open and closed at first. It also swivels, which is nice. They seem like a pretty good quality, but I haven’t used any of them frequently since I’m still trying to decide if I like the way it looks. Anyway, they are a decent price to give them a try. I’ve included some photos to show the size and how it looks with one of my pendants on a chain it otherwise would not fit on.

I spent some time looking for a bale that would allow a pendant to swivel. This style was the best fabrication at the right price point. Having two clips makes it easy to attach to various sizes of necklace chain. The opening levers click shut firmly so I don't worry about them detaching while being worn. For me, this was the right bale at the right price!

These are such a fantastic concept. Unfortunately only about half of them will open for me. The other half are fantastic and allow me to wear some of my necklace pendants interchangeably. I didn’t really account for the fact that some of my necklace pendants have much smaller holes than I would need to be able to slide these through but I can at least put jump rings on those and make it so I will someday be able to use those too. That’s my own foolishness though. They warn you about that in the write up for this product.

I don't normally leave a negative review, however when other reviews said bad instructions and/or can't see them, THEY WERE NOT kiddin! Though I managed to get this ring guard to work for me, the small small piece of paper with directions wasn't even viewable with a Magnify Glass!!! Stop saving on paper, and make it a little larger for peeps!

Good quality, made to last.

I look for quality accessory items for the jewelry I'll make. Things like "lead and cadmium free, nickel release free", and no skin irritation. The included business card, that came with these earrings, has a maintenance instruction list of 4 things to be careful with: not wearing them in any aroma bath water, salt water, chlorinated swimming pool, nor laying around any chemicals for it will damage these pendant connectors. This is a good thing as I can also add those cautions to my home made products with using these connectors. These connectors are made very strong. The latches are easy to open and they snap shut securely knowing they will not open and accidentally lose any pendants, beads, etc. They also will not pull apart easily.

These are great connectors for jewelry. They're designed for pendants but could also work as an extender for a necklace, bracelet, or anklet. They're a little hard to get open, but that makes me feel good that they'll stay securely closed. I liked the packaging of two to an envelope so you don't have to open them until you need them.

I love these! I use them to faster et my pendants and tassels to my chains. This way I can accessorize my jewelry in many more ways. They are very secure and look like settling silver!
