Flexible 19-strand wire drapes naturally while resisting kinks and breaks
Nineteen micro-thin strands of stainless steel create the suppleness that makes complex beadwork possible. This construction delivers the flexibility needed for intricate patterns and tight curves while maintaining the tensile strength to support heavy glass, stone, or metal beads without stretching. The kink-resistant nylon coating protects against the abrasion that comes from beads shifting during wear, extending the life of finished pieces beyond what bare wire could provide.
At .015 inch diameter, this wire threads through most seed beads and small gemstone drills while remaining substantial enough to support multi-strand designs. The coating comes in three distinct finishes: metallic colors that mimic precious metals, satin colors with matte surfaces that blend into organic materials, and standard clear or black coatings that disappear behind transparent beads or provide deliberate contrast. Each finish serves different design intentions, metallic becomes part of the aesthetic, satin softens the industrial edge, standard maintains pure focus on the beads themselves.
Beadalon's 19-strand construction outperforms 7-strand alternatives in drape and handling, eliminating the stiffness that fights against fluid jewelry lines. Finished necklaces and bracelets move naturally, conforming to body contours rather than holding rigid shapes. Professional beaders and serious hobbyists choose this wire when the piece demands both technical performance and refined presentation.
