Is there a standard bail I can buy for pearls?

20170913_110609.jpg Sorry for the photos - still waiting till they release a better cellphone - the pearls are shinier, and the tourmaline is much better.

However, none of my standard pendants can be suspended on pearls because of narrow ears of the "hooks". (I hope I am explaining it clearly). I need sort of a generic bail that I could use to suspend different pendants from pearl strings, do you know if there is a place where they sell them? (Or do I have to order one specially? Everything costs a lot if custom-made).

These are souffles from Pearl Paradise, I was deliberating between rose and white and chose rose, now I think white would have been better as I have bought single whites from different vendors. I shall with time restring them and combine with black Tahitians, I think. I wanted to emulate the look of Hillary Clinton's pearls (the ones with gold in-between pearls), but I suspect she spent way more on hers ;-)

Have you tried Bella Findings or Rio Grande? I think they have a good selection of enhancers and convertible pendant enhancers there.
 
Yes, look specifically for enhancer bails.
 
Like this :

Sort of like this, Austina, but with a clasp to attack to the existing pendant and the other side should be able to hook to the necklace. Or go over the pearls. Basically, detachable bail.

Something like this is?
 
I have the enhancer in post 7-- I like it for some pendants but am fussy about which ones. It's not 100% perfectly secure as the pendant can slip off. That one can be found in gold filled, gold, and sterling silver.
It works best with a large pendant-- it dwarfs smaller ones.

Edit: The link isn't working for the eBay seller. He/she has more listings for pendant hangers of this type than the listing that comes up. Click to see the seller's other items.
