The stringing material you choose is just as important as the beads — it determines how your jewellery moves, hangs, and lasts. Here's a clear guide to the main options and when to use each.
Elastic Cord
- Best for: stretch bracelets — no clasp needed.
- Pros: beginner-friendly, easy to knot, comfortable.
- Tip: use a strong elastic and secure knots well to prevent snapping.
Beading Thread
- Best for: seed-bead work and detailed, flexible designs.
- Pros: thin, strong, and drapes beautifully.
- Tip: use a beading needle for tiny bead holes.
Beading Wire (Flexible/Coated)
- Best for: necklaces and bracelets with heavier beads.
- Pros: strong, kink-resistant, and holds shape well.
- Tip: finish with crimp beads for a secure, neat join.
Nylon Cord & Silk Thread
- Best for: knotted designs and classic strung necklaces.
- Pros: elegant drape, great for knotting between beads.
Memory Wire
- Best for: coil bracelets that keep their shape.
- Tip: use a dedicated hard-wire cutter — it will damage normal cutters.
How to Choose
- Bead weight — heavier beads need wire.
- Hole size — tiny holes need thin thread.
- Design style — stretch, drape, or structured.
