Source for glue-on bails for fusing?
Years ago I did fused pendants,etc. and always incorporated a stringing hole in them. I have just started playing around with fusing again and am wanting to try the glue-on type of sterling bails. Does anyone have a good source? I see that Burgard carries some but would like to see a few different types before making a decision.

Rings and Things have a few different varities. They have a really nice sterling silver disc bail for only $4.25. That sounds like a lot until you see others at $12.00!

Thanks. I tried to find them online but could only find their basemetal ones. I'll have to check my catalog but it is years old!

I tried to transfer the link to here, but it wouldn't work.
Just do a search on their site of 'silver disc bail'. They'll be right at the top.

Thanks! When I was on the site I looked for the search "box" and didn't see one. Should've looked at the links on the side. Duh.

I might think about the ones at Aanraku for the future, they are nice. Really wanted something simple for now, and a bit cheaper for resale. Unfortunately fused pendants generally don't get the prices that lampwork does. The ones at AAproducts look like a good possibility. The fine silver ones that you fuse in are an interesting idea as well. Thanks!

For the fused in ones I would guess it would be easy and cost effective just to make your own with fine silver wire. It is my understanding that you need to use fine silver, not sterling. I've read that sterling becomes too brittle in kiln. The fused part of the wire can even become a design element if you add some interesing bends to the wire. I do this with copper, but I have to admit to sometimes getting bubbles around the wire. But I'm a pretty newbie fuser so there are many things I haven't worked out yet.
