Bails are small components of jewellery of almost any material, but usually precious metal, used to hang cabochons or pendants from chains for necklaces, earrings, bracelets and other items.

The term also refers to a family name – "Bailes", "Bails", "Bail", and "Bale", which are all derived from Irish.
