Dude! Did I blind you with my cool in-crowd lingo? I admit, I was surprised when neither my friend or my husband knew what a bail was. A "BAIL" is that triangular thingie that a pendant hangs from, you put your chain through it! It seems that, while you can find cheapo "pinch" bails everywhere, what you cannot find are jeweler's quality bails, unless you go somewhere to buy it wholesale/to the trade.

I also impressed my friend by casually flinging around chain-style lingo: rolo, curb, box, figaro, etc.
