Griffin™ Jewelry Wire – 19 or 49 -Strand Clear Beading Wire for Professional Stringing

An ideal choice for stringing beads with varying hole sizes, especially where strength, flexibility, and a clean, bright finish are required. The natural stainless steel color, visible through the clear HiFlex nylon coating, pairs seamlessly with silver and white-metal clasps and findings.

This gauge is an excellent all-purpose wire for necklaces, bracelets, and anklets that feature medium to heavy beads, including gemstones, crystals, ceramic, glass, and stone beads. Nineteen miniature strands of stainless steel are twisted together, then coated with a crystal-clear nylon for superior knotting, durability, and kink resistance. The result is professional-grade wire that eliminates the need for a separate needle, even when working with the smallest bead holes.

Available in multiple diameters and spool lengths to suit your design needs.

The number of strands refers to how many fine stainless steel wires are twisted together inside the nylon coating. The higher the strand count, the more flexible and kink-resistant the wire becomes — while maintaining the same strength.
