Connectors
Jewellery connectors for bracelets, necklaces, and earring designs, decorative linking components that join sections of a jewellery design. Shop wholesale prices online.
A connector does two jobs at once: it links parts of a design together and it decorates the point where it does. Sitting within a piece rather than hanging from it, connectors combine function and decoration, turning a join into a design feature. Depending on their style, they can appear as a decorative element within a bracelet, a shaped component in an earring design, or a motif linking sections of a necklace. Bellaire Wholesale stocks connectors across a range of styles, suited to makers who want the body of a design to carry as much intention as its ends.
Connectors reward makers who design around them. Placing a decorative connector within a bracelet or building an earring around one gives the component visual work to do, adding character that a plain link doesn't provide. Many styles pair naturally with the rest of the catalogue: combine them with lengths from the chains collection, with jump rings and components from findings, or with beaded designs built from natural stones and glass beads.
Why Choose Our Connectors?
The join in a design is worth as much attention as the beads and chain around it. Here's what the connectors in this collection offer.
Function and Decoration in One Component
A connector links sections of a design while adding a decorative element at the join, letting a structural point contribute to the look of the piece.
Styles for Different Design Directions
A range of connector styles gives makers options across classic, contemporary, and themed designs, so the linking element can match the intent of the piece.
A Focal Option for Bracelets
Depending on the style, a connector placed within a chain or beaded bracelet can act as a decorative focal point, giving simple constructions added character.
Options for Earring Designs
Many connector styles suit earring making, serving as the decorative body of a design with other components attached according to the connector's shape.
Combines With Other Components
Connectors can be used alongside chain, beadwork, and findings, making them a flexible addition across the jewellery formats a maker produces.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are connectors in jewellery making?
Connectors are components used to join sections of a jewellery design, such as a bracelet, necklace, or earring. They range from simple functional links to decorative elements that double as a design's focal point.
What's the difference between a connector and a charm?
Placement and role. A charm typically hangs from a design as a decorative addition, while a connector sits within the design, linking its sections together while adding decoration at the join.
How are connectors used in bracelets?
A common approach places a decorative connector within the bracelet, with chain or beadwork extending from its attachment points towards the clasp. The connector adds a visual element while forming part of the structure.
Can connectors be used for earrings?
Yes, depending on the style. Many connectors suit drop and dangle earring designs, acting as the decorative body of the earring with other components attached above or below.
How do connectors attach to other components?
Attachment depends on the connector's design, commonly using jump rings or other suitable findings to join its attachment points to chain, beadwork, or a clasp.
