Different Types of Stringing Material
There are many kinds of material required in making jewelry, and choosing the right kind for you is very important. One of the most important materials is the string, if it is for a necklace, bracelet, or anklet you wish to make. Selecting the right stringing materials is a complete must. When choosing the right string for your jewelry, you have got to consider the type of jewelry you would like to create, the style and design you would like to achieve, and the type and size of the beads you’ll use. Some of the most typical stringing materials for you to choose from are : Bead Stringing Wire, Illusion Cord/Monofilament, Elastic cord, Nylon Thread, Silk Thread, Leather Cord, and Memory Wire.
Bead stringing wire, is one of the most popular stringing material in jewelry making. This wire is made of stainless-steel wires inside a nylon coating to prevent tarnishing. Soft Flex, Accu-Flex, and Beadalon are the main brands of bead stringing wire. Before using wire you will need to learn how to crimp and other techniques as well as jewelry making tools their proper usage and maintenance.
Before purchasing wire, you should consider the flexibleness you’ll need for your design. The bigger the number of strands, the more flexible the wire would be. As an example, a 7 strand wire has some suppleness, a nineteen strand wire is more flexible, and a 49 strand is the most flexible. If you’re trying to find very stiff wire, choose Tiger Tail wire. This type of wire isn’t as flexible as other beading wire. Beading wire also varies in diameter. Wires having a diameter of 0.13 or 0.14 are for light beads like seed beads and small pearls, while wires with a diameter of 0.16 or 0.18 are for bigger beads.
Elastic cord, a flexible, stretchable cord commonly use in making informal sort of jewelry. In using an elastic cord, you do not have to worry about needing any findings to close off a jewelry piece. The end of this cord can be knotted or mixed together. One of the common types of elastic cords available in the market is Stretch Magic.
Nylon thread is the modern alternative choice to silk. Unlike silk, nylon doesn’t fray nor stretch as much as natural silk. And nylon is more popular today compared to silk. Main brands of nylon treads are Griffin and C-lon. These brands are available in a large range of colors, sizes, and spool lengths.
Silk, this is frequently use in standard way of stringing beads. This kind of string is ideal when stringing valuable pearls where you have to do knot in between the pearls. Silk is simpler to knot than any other thread as it is soft. {However ,} silk frays and stretched when used over 3-5 years. The main brands of silk are Gudebrod and Griffin. If you want to string pearls sizes of string like Griffin size five or six, and Gudebrod size E are highly recommended. Silk is not useful for heavy beads.
Leather cords, this kind of wire with simulated suede are seriously popular when creating a country look and this wire is often use to string heavier pendants because it has more strength and high sturdiness. Suede might be tied in knot and worn with a pendant. In suede necklace, you can use coil or leather crimps in finishing off. Simulated suede is more favored compared to leather cord because it is softer and it’s compatible to more consistent dye colors.
Memory wire, this is a coil which has extremely strong tempered stainless steel wire. If you would like to make fast and simple necklaces and bracelets, this is unquestionably what you’ll be using. This could stay on your neck or wrist without a clasp. In finishing off a memory wire, simply make a loop at the end of the wire or you can glue a capping bead at the end of the wire. Don’t use side cutters in cutting memory wire ; just use hardware shop wire cutters. Just remember to shield your eyes when cutting this wire.
Now, if you are still trying to find other alternative stringing materials you can use in your jewelry making, here are some other stringing materials : satin rope, hemp thread, ribbon, black rubber cord, waxed linen, and rattail. As with most things, all of your supplies can be discovered online at numerous internet stores. One of the preferred is eBay where you can find all you stringing materials, clasps as well as anything else you want. Most jewelry uses some sort of beads so use eBay to find cheap beads.
