Long-tail keyword for explainers: what is a slide pendant vs fixed bail.

How to Choose & What to Check

• Aesthetics & movement: pick a slide pendant for a clean, anti-flip silhouette; choose a fixed bail pendant if you swap chains/pendants often or love layered stacks.
• Engineering: for slide pendant, match tunnel diameter to chain gauge and polish the inner channel; for fixed bail pendant, reinforce solder joints and keep plating uniform.
• Merchandising tip: list the same motif in both versions and clarify what is a slide pendant vs fixed bail on the PDP/FAQ to reduce returns.
