✨ What they are:
Link connectors with rhinestones are small jewelry findings used to connect two parts of a piece — like beads to chain, or chain to clasp — while adding sparkle.
Key details:
-
Rhinestone:
-
Usually a glass or crystal stone that mimics the look of a diamond.
-
6 mm is a medium size — big enough to catch the light nicely but small enough for delicate designs.
-
-
Stainless Steel Grip/Setting:
-
The stone is held in a cup or claw setting made of stainless steel.
-
Stainless steel is rust-resistant, hypoallergenic, and won’t tarnish easily — so it’s great for everyday wear or outdoor jewelry.
-
-
2 Wire Circles:
-
These are also called loops or bails.
-
One loop on each side of the stone makes it easy to link into your design.
-
You can open the loops slightly (if they’re not soldered closed) to attach jump rings, chains, or beading wire.
-
Common uses:
-
Connectors for bracelets, necklaces, or earrings.
-
Decorative links between chain segments.
-
Droplets for dangles and charms.
-
Multi-stone link chains (several rhinestone connectors linked together).
️ How to use them:
-
Use pliers to attach jump rings through the loops.
-
Link them directly to chain or wire-wrap them into a beaded design.
-
Combine multiple colors or sizes for a gradient or cluster effect.
✅ Why people like them:
-
Easy way to add sparkle without needing to set stones yourself.
-
Stainless steel is durable and modern looking.
-
Looks polished and professional with minimal effort.
