Industry Insight
If you encounter both "bail" and "bale" in jewelry descriptions, they refer to the same thing, the loop fitting that connects a pendant to its chain. "Bail" is the more common American spelling, while "bale" appears more in British usage. There is no difference in meaning between them.
