And the necklace enhancer is one such spice for your jewelry. Interestingly, the necklace enhancer is not too different from the bail a necklace bail is that small loop thingie that you see at the top of the charms or pendants, which is also the part of the pendant necklace that the chain slides through. The necklace enhancer is more or less like the bail in that it goes on the top section of the pendant, but it is different and most preferable to the bails. Well, the necklace enhancer is a type of bail with a hinge at the back, and the hinge allows you to easily open it up, and you can clip in the pendant through the middle of the necklace, spicing it up.
The best part about the necklace enhancer is that it works great for gold and silver necklaces, as well as the bead and pearl necklaces. Think of the necklace enhancer as the spice you need to make your old necklace look as good as new. To make sure that you get the best out of the enhancer, this accessory comes in various shapes, designs, and styles, which also means that there is an enhancer for every taste or style preference.
And the best is that the pendant enhancers for your necklaces can be used for different chain necklaces, allowing you to create different looks from your favorite necklace, or perhaps you could use that one cute enhancer with different necklaces.
As mentioned above, a necklace enhancer features a hinge design which allows for ease of use whenever you need to spice up your look. It is, therefore, safe to say that the necklace enhancer has an open design, unlike the bail that has more of a closed design, and you can only use it with a chain necklace whose clasp end fits through the bail.
So, if you have a 4mm rope chain necklace and a pendant with a bail opening of 5mm, the chain might not pass through the bail because the clasp end is often larger and thicker than the overall thickness of the chain. This means you can open it up and clip your pendant right onto the middle of your large gold, pearl or beaded necklace. And spice it up! As a jewelry designer who also re-purposes jewelry I have to say, enhancers are one of my favorite inventions.
Oftentimes, bails are too small for thick chains and large beaded necklaces to pass through. Bails are closed and can only take a chain whose clasp end will fit through it. What I mean by that is if you have a 4mm rope chain and you get a pendant with a 5mm opening of its bail, your chain probably will not fit through it. That is because the end ring that the clasp clicks through to shut is often larger than the thickness of your chain. An enhancer with its marvelous hinge allows for a bumpity and sticking out end ring.
Just hinge it open, get it past the too large part and click it shut. Enhancers make your pendants much more versatile. It can change ordinary pearls into a fabulous and finished looking statement necklace by adding a pendant. An enhancer-bailed pendant can take your pearls or beads from daytime conservative to dressy night out. It can take a pendant that is not being worn and turn it into a spicy favorite. When converting an under-worn pin into a pendant, use the enhancing bail to give it greater versatility and chances to be worn.
The enhancer slips right between the center-most two pearls. This goes for necklaces with gemstone beads, as well. The picture above shows a figure eight wire style back safety for the enhancer.
Other styles like the two pictured higher on the page, showing the difference between enhancers and bails, show examples of enhancers with a solid backs. The ones with solid backs are safer. Solid backed ones with an additional safety clasp are the safest of all. Happily you can get your versatility and spice up your jewelry wardrobe with an enhancer with a choice of sizes.
