Jewellery Findings 101: Build Your Custom Jewellery with the Right Components
Jewellery findings are the essential components that hold custom jewellery together. From ring settings and necklace clasps to earring hooks and bracelet links, these small parts make a big difference in both structure and style. Whether you're designing a custom engagement ring or creating personalized earrings, using the right findings ensures your piece is durable, functional, and beautiful.
At Diamovida, we offer high-quality jewellery findings to help custom jewellery designers and DIY creators in Calgary bring their vision to life.
What Are Jewellery Findings and Why Do They Matter?
Jewellery findings are the mechanical or decorative parts used to assemble finished jewellery pieces. They include everything from bails and clasps to shanks and jump rings. Without them, there would be no way to securely attach gemstones, fasten a necklace, or connect components.
Findings are crucial in custom jewellery components because they:
-
Support the overall structure
-
Enhance wearability and function
-
Allow for interchangeable and personalized elements
Choosing the right findings ensures the piece not only looks good but also lasts.
Core Jewellery Findings for Rings, Earrings, and Multi-Use Designs
-
Settings for Gemstone Security
Settings are used to hold gemstones or diamonds in place. Prong, bezel, and tension settings each offer different levels of visibility and protection, making them a key choice in custom design.
-
Shanks – The Ring’s Foundation
The shank is the band part of a ring. It must be chosen carefully to match the setting, especially for engagement rings or wedding bands.
-
Jewellery Components for Versatile Use
Some findings serve multiple roles. For instance, decorative links or trims can be used in both necklaces and earrings. These support the structure and allow more creative flexibility.
-
Earring Findings for Secure Wear
From classic posts and leverbacks to dangling hooks, earring findings allow for endless customization. They not only impact style but also affect comfort and security.
Book a consultation with a professional jeweller to bring your custom design to life with expert guidance.
Necklace Findings: Structure, Style, and Closure
-
Chain Components
Creating custom-length necklaces often involves combining chains with jump rings, split rings, or chain extenders. These allow for adjustability and better fit.
-
Bails and Pendants
Bails are used to attach a pendant to a chain. A well-designed bail complements the pendant and enhances the overall look of the necklace.
-
Necklace Centrepieces and Trims
Add visual balance with necklace centres—components that draw attention to the middle of the piece. Decorative trims also add elegance to any custom piece.
-
Clasps and Closures
Clasps play a dual role in security and design. Popular styles include lobster clasps, spring rings, magnetic clasps, and toggles. High-quality necklace clasps provide both reliability and a refined finish.
Bracelet Findings for Custom Wristwear
Custom bracelets require a thoughtful combination of components:
-
Bracelet Components
These include bases, spacers, and structural links.
-
Jump Rings and Split Rings
Flexible connectors used to attach charms or clasps.
-
Dangles and Links
Add movement and personality.
-
Incidentals
Small but essential pieces like crimp beads and tag ends ensure durability and polish.
Each bracelet finding must match the overall weight and style of the bracelet to maintain balance and function.
