BEADALON BEADING WIRE

Beadalon Beading Wire is a high quality flexible stainless steel wire used to string beads - to finish generally it is crimped using crimp beads or tubes and attached to clasps & jumprings.  We also stock Beadalon Cable which is a heavy duty stainless steel wire.

There are 3 qualities available in the wire - 7 strand which is the economy level wire, 19 strand which is the designer level and 49 strand which is the professional level.  The greater the number of strands the more flexible the wire is and kink resistant.  In each level there are also a variety of diameters available - .010" - .015" is for small beads such as seed beads or lightweight beads, .015" - .018" is for medium sized beads, and .024" and over is for larger heavier beads such as gemstones.
