This sterling silver pendant mounting features a solid tapered bail and a dynamic open swirl design with an attached cup and peg mounting. The mounting features a twisted peg and holds one half-drilled pearl or gem ball. Use jeweler’s epoxy to secure the bead or pearl on the peg; the twisted peg increases the surface area for the epoxy and provide a more secure hold.
• Pearls for cup and peg settings should be at least 2mm larger than the cup size.
• IMPORTANT: Sterling silver is an alloy containing metals that react with chemicals found in air and produce tarnish; high moisture levels, exposure to sunlight and contaminants such as salt water increase this reaction. Take steps to protect your sterling findings by keeping them in airtight packages, use tarnish-resistant products (such as tarnish tabs or strips) that absorb harmful chemicals, and store sterling findings in a cool, dry place. Most tarnish is easily removed by polishing with a mild abrasive or soaking in an anti-tarnish solution.
