Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What crimp size should I use with 0.76mm Beadalon?
Size #2 crimp beads or 2×3mm crimp tubes work well with 0.76mm wire. Always test the fit before starting your project.

Q: How does 49-strand compare to 7-strand?
49-strand wire has far more individual micro-wires, giving it a silky, flexible drape much closer to thread. 7-strand is stiffer and better for lighter bead designs.

Q: Is 0.76mm suitable for very heavy stones?
Yes — 0.76mm 49-strand Beadalon with its approximately 40lb test strength is a solid choice for heavier gemstone beads.

Q: What is the bright finish?
Bright means a shiny, silver-toned nylon coating. Beadalon is also available in satin silver and various colours.
