Description

Give your jewelry designs a clean and professional finish with French Wire, also known as Gimp or Bullion. This tightly coiled wire is designed to shield bead cord from wear and tear near clasp connections, extending the life of your handcrafted pieces while adding a polished detail. Ideal for use in knotted and strung projects, it subtly enhances the appearance of necklaces and bracelets without overpowering your design.

  • Material: Copper Base
  • Finish: Coiled Wire
  • Also Known As: Gimp, Bullion
  • Purpose: Protects bead cord at clasp connection
  • Use In: Knotted or strung jewelry designs
  • Assorted package includes 10cm pieces of the following sizes: 0.60 mm/.024 in, 0.7 mm/.028 in, 0.8 mm/.032 in, 0.9 mm/.036 in

To use: cut two identical pieces of French Wire between 1/4" and 3/8", depending on the size of your clasp or jump ring. Thread each piece onto your beading cord at the beginning and end of the strand, forming a protective loop where the cord connects to the clasp. This not only protects the thread from stress and breakage but also adds a sleek, finished touch to the piece.
