Bead Stringing Stranded Wire
We are Beadalon® distributors and carry a wide range of their top-quality stringing products. Beadalon manufacturers all of these wire products themselves - and we buy directly from Beadalon.

The products on this page are all miniature wires created especially for bead stringing. These wires are soft, supple, and very strong for their size. You can knot these wires like thread! Most people choose to use them with crimps (to fasten the ends when connecting to clasps), but they can also be used with bead tips, if you prefer. The more strands that are used in a product, the more flexible the wire, so 19 strand will be more flexible than 7 strand, for example.

Upon updating the website, we separated some items that were previously categorized together. If you were looking for Memory Wire and Ends, they are located on their own page.

Beading Tip - Which Stranded Wire to Use?
Which type of stranded wire should you use for your beading project? A bracelet probably doesn't need to be as flexible as a necklace does, so the 7-strand wire might be adequate for your bracelet designs. If you are using fairly large and heavier beads, the 7-strand may not only be adequate, it may drape more regularly, especially if the center focal beads are weighty. If you're just getting started with beading, you may want to begin by using the 7-strand wire since it's the most economical, too. The 19-strand wire is probably adequate for most professional beading projects requiring a little more flexibility, but for particularly expensive pieces or very tiny light weight beads, you can't beat the 49-strand wire for both strength and flexibility.
