Coil Findings for Crystal Pendant Making
Coil pendant findings are the simplest solution for transforming raw crystal points, small tumbled stones, and mineral specimens into wearable jewelry without wire-wrapping skill or additional tools. The design is a pre-formed helical coil with an open end: insert the pointed tip of a crystal, twist the coil gently to tighten it around the crystal’s body, and the stone is held securely by spring tension alone. No glue, no wire, no special technique required. The top terminates in a bail loop ready for a jump ring, cord, or chain.
At 3/4 inch in coil length, these findings accommodate small to medium crystal points, the kind most commonly used in spiritual jewelry: small clear quartz points, selenite rods, tourmaline crystals, raw kyanite, and similarly sized mineral forms. Silver plating provides a clean, neutral finish that suits most gemstone colors. The set of 24 is generous for a craft supply, suited for anyone making jewelry in quantity for personal use or as gifts.
Spiritual Jewelry Making and Stone Selection
For practitioners who want to keep a crystal’s presence close throughout the day, a coil-mounted pendant is one of the most direct options. Stone choice matters: black tourmaline and obsidian points are commonly set this way for protective pendants, while rose quartz and rhodonite suit love-drawing pieces, and citrine works well for abundance and confidence workings.
A practical sizing note: measure the narrowest point of the crystal where it will seat in the coil rather than its widest point. The 3/4 inch length means the coil grips the crystal’s upper body. A crystal that tapers sharply from a wide base will have its base exposed below the coil, which is aesthetically fine and allows the natural termination to remain visible. For very wide specimens, the 1-inch coil size may provide a better grip.
How to Use Silver Plated Coil Pendant Findings
How to mount a crystal point into a silver coil pendant finding and complete the pendant for wear.
- Select and prepare your crystal
Choose a crystal point or small stone that fits the 3/4 inch coil. The stone should have a tapered tip to insert into the coil opening. Wipe the stone clean and dry before setting to ensure the coil grips without grit interfering.
- Insert and twist to secure
Insert the crystal tip into the open end of the coil. Gently twist the coil in a tightening direction while pressing the crystal inward. The spring tension grips the stone body. Stop when the crystal feels firmly held and does not wobble.
- Add a bail and attach to your cord or chain
Open a jump ring with two pairs of pliers, thread it through the bail loop at the top of the coil, then attach your chain or cord before closing the ring. For a no-tool option, thread cord directly through the coil bail and knot it.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I stock these coil findings because crystal pendant making should be accessible to everyone, not just those with wire-wrapping skills. A set of 24 at the 3/4 inch size covers most common crystal points and gives real flexibility. Browse my jewelry collection for finished crystal pendants and chain options, and find the crystals to set in my crystals, stones, and gemstones section.
Frequently Asked Questions
Small to medium crystal points that taper to a tip work best: clear quartz, tourmaline, selenite rods, raw kyanite, and similar mineral forms. The 3/4 inch coil grips the crystal body just above the base, leaving the natural point visible below.
No tools are required. The coil secures the crystal through spring tension: insert the tip, twist gently to tighten, and the stone holds. Threading cord through the bail needs no tools either, making these beginner-friendly for crystal jewelry.
Silver-plated findings develop tarnish with wear and exposure to skin oils and moisture. Store finished pendants in a sealed bag when not worn. Polish with a soft cloth to restore shine. Heavy tarnish may require a mild jewelry cleaning solution.
Yes. Twist the coil in the opposite direction to loosen and release the stone, allowing crystal swaps as your practice changes. Repeated tightening will eventually fatigue the metal, so treat these as semi-permanent rather than daily-swap fittings.
