French wire, also known as bullion wire, or gimp wire, gives design a polished, professional finish.
In beading, it is used to cover and protect beading wire, cording, and thread from friction and breakage at the clasp area, or any connection point such as chain, leather, links, jump rings, etc. It is also used in bead weaving and embellishing.
French Wire is a tightly coiled metal wire. It has various applications in jewelry making and beadwork: to protect thread or beading wire at connection points; to decorate a design; it can be stretched out for additional embellishing; add a decorative metallic accent; used in bead weaving to fill spaces.

from 112 reviewsThis chain is large and chunky, which is exactly what I wanted. So many ideas to use it. So glad I got this.
These are great shell beads. Nice size and world drilled. I can see using a starfish charm to embellish the front. Can’t wait to use them.
Beautiful products, fast shipping. This was my first purchase. I'll be back.
Love, love, love!! Even more beautiful in person.
It was great to get the bag extras at the same time as the sparkle bag.
I love the color of the imperial Jasper strand of beads and the other items in the collection make a great pallet

Dear Jen, I love your Mystery Bead mixes! I have ordered several and never received the same one twice! They are wonderful. Thank you so much.
What a gorgeous collection! You did it again Jen, your Sparkle Bags are always great! Thank you so much.
These are great. I don't find this color very often. These Beadalon crimps have never failed my jewelry making
Jens Sunlit Meadows collection is gorgeous! No one can curate a collection of beads like her. Always sparkling and beautiful. The butter jasper is amazing!
