The Beadsmith French Wire - Silver Color - Size Fine (.7mm Diameter) - 14 Inches, Bullion, Gimp - Use to Conceal Beading Wire Next to Crimps and Clasps

FRENCH WIRE: Recognized as bullion or gimp, it is made up of a delicate spiral of silver or gold-filled wire employed by jewelers to discreetly mask beading wire in proximity to crimps and clasps. SOPHISTICATED FINISH: French wire enhances the finish of your jewelry with an elegant touch, while safeguarding and fortifying beadwork ends. This alternative is favored by hobbyist beaders in projects like seed beads and knotted pearls. COILED TUNNEL: Meticulously spun into a compact coil, this wire creates a wire tunnel. Its fine .7mm diameter is presented in a captivating silver hue. This package contains 14 inches. EASY TO USE: Begin by securing the crimp and selecting French wire. Slide it through the needle, then thread the clasp aligned with the French wire through the crimp to cover the cord. Employ crimping pliers for a crease with parallel sides and repeat on the opposite end. THE BEADSMITH: 40 years in the making! Trusted to bring you the best quality beads, tools, and supplies.
