Beadalon - 49 Strand Bead Stringing Wire
49 Strand Bead Stringing Wire
Create jewelry that drapes like silk with unmatched strength and flexibility
Professional beadwork demands wire that handles like thread while maintaining structural integrity under the weight of glass, gemstone, and metal. Beadalon's 49-strand construction achieves this balance through forty-nine individual wires twisted together within a nylon coating, the highest strand count available for maximum flexibility and drape. This dense wire architecture eliminates the stiffness that plagues lower strand counts, allowing finished pieces to move naturally against skin and drape with the fluidity of fabric rather than sitting rigid.
The construction delivers practical advantages beyond flexibility. Multiple strands distribute tension across the wire's structure, preventing the concentrated stress points that cause single-strand failures. This redundancy provides genuine security for high-value pieces where a broken strand means lost components. The nylon coating protects against abrasion from bead holes while resisting the kinks that develop when wire bends sharply during assembly.
Two finish options serve different design needs. Metallic silver features real silver plating that coordinates with sterling findings and precious metal components at accessible cost. Standard bright maintains stainless steel's neutral metallic appearance beneath clear nylon, disappearing visually within most bead work. Professional designers rely on this wire when softness, strength, and consistent performance matter more than price.
