Pendant Settings

If you lose your pendant settings, you should replace it with exactly the same pendant setting that you have lost if possible. But finding the right pendant setting can be difficult; it may be best to go see your jeweler and order a ready made one to fit in the missing spot.

To lose one of your pendant settings can be one of the most annoying things pertaining to jewelry.

You may go to put on a necklace and you realize that one of your pendant settings is missing. Finding a replacement can be tough because only the right size, shape, and color will look right within the necklace.

If you do not mind having a setting that is not a real stone, or if your necklace is not made of precious materials, it is possible to find pendant settings at a craft store. Some of the bigger craft stores carry different settings and these can be substituted quite nicely.

A tube of jewelry glue is required so that the pendant settings stay where you want them to be. To make the pendant settings fit better, some tools may be required. One tool that is in many homes is a pair of tweezers.

 If the setting is really small, using the tweezers will help place the pendant setting. If you have a smaller setting and don’t use a pair of tweezers to place it, it may not be positioned properly.

 When that happens, it is easier for the stone to get caught on something and be pulled out-even if you used a really strong glue that claims to bond anything together.

 If the type of pendant setting you desire is a precious stone, you have a couple of different options to consider. Many jewelry stores are obliging when it comes to finding the right stone.

Even though jewelry store associates are rather helpful, different stores charge different fees. You may pay not only for the pendant settings, but also for the work the associates do on your piece of jewelry.

When choosing the right store to take your piece of jewelry to, it is smart to shop around a bit. Many jewelry stores are very happy to help someone if a person might come back and give the store business.

You should have no trouble getting an estimate. If a store does hesitate about supplying an estimate it’s probably a good idea to move on.

If going to an actual store does not appeal to you, you may discover a flea market more your style. At most of the larger flea markets that happen only a few times a year vendors from many different stores come to try selling their wares. Sometimes there are people who sell only pendant settings or cut stones.

It is quite easy to buy stones from them. It is hard to recognize if the stones they sell are real or not, unless you can appraise stones yourself.

Taking a chance on a flea market stone may be cheaper, but always keep in mind that it may not be a “real” stone that will become one of your pendant settings.

Pendant settings can be found in lots of places and the type you eventually decide on should reflect your own personal sense of style.  Deciding on the correct pendant settings for most people can be very difficult.

When buying it you should go with the real stones instead of the fake ones. Why spend money on something that would eventually not last as long as the real pendant settings.
