A top bar is the piece two number charms hang from. The two charms sit side by side on the bar and the bar carries the bail, so the pair reads as one pendant instead of two charms sliding apart on a chain.
Most two-digit numbers do not need one. Numbers from 10 to 99 are cast as a single piece with their own bail, so a 36 or a 72 hangs straight on a chain. A bar is for pairing two separate single digits, or for building a number longer than two digits.
Match the bar to the charm. Bars come in small, medium and large, in polished and diamond cut, in 14K yellow gold, 14K white gold and 10K yellow gold. Use the same metal, size and finish as the charms you are hanging so the finished pendant reads as one piece.
