Item Name:
Steel Grey Beading Wire
SKU:
EFW01030STL
Description:
Steel Grey Beading Wire is a flexible multi-strand beading wire made for stringing beads into durable finished jewelry. This style of wire is constructed from seven fine strands bundled together, giving it better kink resistance and smoother drape than a single solid wire. The steel grey finish keeps the wire visually neutral behind transparent and opaque beads, which is especially helpful when you are stringing lampworked glass beads where you do not want a bright silver line showing through.
This wire is commonly used in lampworking and beadmaking when you are assembling finished necklaces, bracelets, and anklets from glass beads, metal spacers, and stone beads. The 10 lb test strength makes it a solid general-purpose choice for everyday wearable pieces while still being thin enough to pass through many bead hole sizes.
How it is used:
- Plan your bead layout and measure the finished length you want for the necklace or bracelet.
- Cut the beading wire slightly longer than needed to allow room for finishing.
- Thread beads onto the wire in your desired order.
- Use crimp beads and a crimping tool to secure the ends to clasps or jump rings.
- Trim excess wire close to the crimp once it is fully secured.
