Findings

Jewellery components that are used to join pieces of jewellery are commonly referred to as "findings". These come in a wide variety of sizes and designs. Most findings are made to discreetly blend with the items of jewellery. Popular types of findings comprise clasps, Headpins, Callotte, flat or round leather crimp, barrel clasps, spiral cage, jump rings, earwires, crimps, link locks as well as beadtips. Each of the above mentioned findings in turn come in different forms and are meant for specific locking requirements of different jewellery items.

Headpins is a type of findings that has a small base at the end. These are best for making hanging drops. Callotte are used primarily as they give a clean finish by keeping the knots and loose ends discreet. Barrel clasps is another type of findings that come as screws for fastening and are ideal for use on tiger tail. Spiral cage is yet another kind of findings which come in different sizes. They are great for making lockets and pendants. The spiral cage shape of the findings is used to enclose precious stones or beads inside the wire cage. The broad range of well-crafted jewellery findings like gold and silver jewellery findings can be availed from several jewellery stores as well as online.
