The Inside Scoop On Jewellery Findings
What are jewellery findings occasionally spelled jewelry findings? They are hardware employed in making jewelry. Specifically, findings are the items used to hold your chains and gemstones together. They're either made from sterling silver, gold or a base metal plated with a precious metal.
Base metal findings are generally lined with silver, gold or a copper finish and are awfully inexpensive. A word to the sensible though, for a few pennies more, get the real deal...you will not regret it! Why, because the coating often times wears off and the the recipient of your jewelry, gets a green ring around their neck or arm from where the worn down finding touches the skin.
Additionally, a guiding principle is it's not uncommon with working with gemstone designs to use valuable metal findings such as sterling silver jewellery findings.
Clasps, toggle clasps, earring findings, silver spacer beads, headpins, bead caps are all considered jewellery findings.
Don't you love toggles? I've always loved the way they looked, but wondered if they would stay fastened on my body. Talk about dressing up a bit of jewellery, let me tell you, a sophisticated toggle can do just that! If you don't feel quite up to a toggle clasp, then give a lobster clasp a try, you won't be disappointed.
Ear Wires and Earring Findings are extremely popular jewelry findings. These are used to create dangly or hoop earrings that are seen throughout the world.
Crimp bead and tubes are tiny metal beads that flatten when squeezed with a crimping tool or pliers. You use them with flexible beading wire to glue a clasp.

If you are looking for a gold or silver necklace to wear either on its own or with a pendant and would like to know a little more, this guide should provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision. Necklaces are normally a series of one or more types of link interlocked to make a chain. The carat index is used to measure the purity of gold. This is often expressed by a hallmark consisting of 3 digits engraved into the piece. These commonly range from 375 (9ct - the most dilute) to 999 (24ct - the purest). Silver has a similar index which should also be engraved into the piece. These range from 750 (lowest) to 999.9 (highest). Sterling silver (which is commonly used in jewellery) should have '925' engraved somewhere on it.
Link Types
Silver and gold necklaces are made from a variety of different types of link. Belcher links are normally torus (ring) shaped and interlock at 90 degrees to the next link. Curb Links are the classic shaped link used for chains outside of jewellery. They can either be made flat or undulated. In either case each link joins to the next at the same angle so when laid flat all links can be orientated the same way. Cuban links are a similar shape to curb links but their width makes each link almost circular. Bead links are spheres with a hole bored through to allow a strand to run between them. A spacer may be used to keep the beads at a uniform distance. Rope links give the impression of a single woven strand by interlocking the links into a spiral shape.
Pendants
You may wish to attach a pendant to the gold or silver necklace you are purchasing. The only thing to keep in mind is the type of links used for the chain. If the necklace is going to be worn with a sizable pendant the shape of the links in the necklace are worth considering. You will want to choose a rounded link which allows the pendant to move freely without snagging. One such link is the belcher link. In the event you choose a necklace is not suitable for your chosen pendant, a responsible jeweller should inform you of the reason and suggest a different necklace.
Costs
The price of silver or gold necklaces are generally governed by the purity of the precious metal used to make it and the weight but in some cases designer branding can further increase the price and handmade jewellery generally costs more than jewellery that has been built by machine. As an example, 9ct solid gold necklaces are generally less than £100 where the handmade equivalent could cost upwards of £500. Remember this does not refer to gold plated jewellery (which costs significantly less).
For a selection of silver & gold necklaces, John Hollins Fine Jewellery is a great place to go.
