- What is a hinged enhancer bail used for?
- It clips onto a chain so you can hang a pendant without threading the chain through the pendant's loop. The hinge opens, the chain sits in the inner opening, and the bail snaps shut.
- Will it fit my chain?
- The loop hole is 1.4mm and the inner opening is about 6.5x4mm. That suits fine to medium chains; thick chains, leather cords and large clasps will not pass through.
- Is it safe for sensitive skin?
- It is made of brass and stated to be cadmium, nickel and lead free, with 18K gold plating. That reduces the usual metal irritants, though plated brass can still discolor over time.
- Can it hold a heavy pendant?
- It is small and thin, so it is best for light to medium pendants. A heavy pendant puts strain on the hinge and the thin brass body.
- Does the gold plating match other gold jewelry?
- It is real 18K gold plated over brass, so the tone is a warm yellow gold. Plating thickness varies, and it may look slightly different from solid gold pieces.
- How do I open and close it?
- The bail is hinged: press the small tab to open it, place the chain in the opening, then close it until it snaps. Open it gently to avoid bending the hinge.
