How to Choose Correct Beading Wire

Beading wire is essential jewelry material for jewelry making. But to some jewelry beginners, they have no idea about what kind of beading wire is suitable for their jewelry project as there are different types and each have their special usage. Today, you will find answer here.

Beading wire, beading wire, stringing wire and/or tiger tail—in whatever you call, it is one of the most essential raw materials for making jewelry. There are several types of string materials available. About how to choose the correct beading wire, you have to consider the following elements—the jewelry design, type of beads you will use and the method you will use for jewelry making. Well, you need to know the various types first.

Beading wire is used for stringing beads. This is braided, twisted type of wire that is excellent for all beading projects. It normally has a protective coating on it so it is good choice for heavier beads. And the jewelry tool you need to cut this wire to size is flush cutters. Choose high strand count wire for rough and big beads, which will help for a long lasting effect. This wire is usually coated with plastic or nylon, and comes in various colors.

Tiger tail is a widely beading wire, and less expensive. This wire is best for heavy beads, but please keep in mind that don't use tiger tail with pearls as they will destroy the pearls. However, tiger tail is not suitable for beading weaving jewelry projects.

As a beginner, you must to know that jewelry wire is not beading wire exactly. Jewelry wires are made of single strands of metal. They are available in round, half round, square, twisted shapes. Jewelry wires are used to making wire wrapping project, jump rings, earring hooks and eye pins. So don't mix up the two different wires.
