Question about findings?
 Hi Everyone,

OK i need some help again.....i am looking for some sort of a claw type clasp that you actually set the stone in and glue it into the claw type of setting so then you can hang it onto your chain? i am probably not making much sense.

This was the only one i could find, i think they used to be used years ago and you could glue the stone in them.

Try

pendant bail

I used 'filigree bail' but not much came up , using just the above 'elsewhere' brought up some ( to give you an idea)  although they tend to be a bit more modern now holding the whole stone etc.

If you Google a bit and add +china often you can get suppliers .

phew , thought I'd never find it (I also want some hence my persistance )

they are called

Bell Caps with Jumpring

Can make any object into a drop earring or pendant. Legs of the bell cap are bent to follow the shape of the object and are bonded in place with two-part epoxy** or Loctite 454.

 Hi chikiwanna

They are very common. 

If you live in victoria  try Koodaks, also Melbourne jewellery supplies. Koodaks usually has them. Also some of the bead shops have them.
Regards
Rahotep.
