Jewelry Connectors: 2-to-1 & Focal Links

A connector is the fixed multi-loop link that sets a piece's geometry: a 1-to-1 joins one chain to a clasp or pendant, while 2-to-1 and 3-to-1 reducers gather two or three strands down to a single drop. For earrings, chandelier and fan connectors add several lower loops for dangles. Decorative styles include rhinestone bar connectors, CZ pave links, enamel charm links, and hammered or filigree focal connectors that become the centerpiece. Measure each loop or hole against your jump-ring wire and chain gauge so everything closes flush; a loop that is too small forces you to size down hardware. Metals range from brass and stainless steel to 14k gold-fill, sterling, and rhodium-plated alloy. Plain link packs run about $3-$15; pave, enamel, or gold-fill focal connectors run $8-$40 each. Most makers ship stocked links in 3-7 business days; custom plating or made-to-order focals take 1-3 weeks.
