This design takes advantage of the large holes that Swarovski has introduced in its revamped line of crystal pendants. 2-3mm curb and cable chain can be strung directly through the holes, eliminating the need for bails. (But if you prefer the look of specialty prong bails, we stock a wide variety of those as well!).
