Tired of boring tri-bails made of wire? Try our line of custom bails and pendant caps, specifically for Swarovski crystal hearts and other crystal pendant shapes.

TIPS:
* Cut the chain into the following lengths: two 4½", one 1".

* Simply slide a cap onto the heart pendant and then attach a folded prong bail to hang.

* Use oval jump rings to separate the bicone crystals.
