Beading Wire

Beading Wire

Name-brand beading wire for jewellery making, including Soft Flex stringing wire in fine, medium, and heavy weights, Beadalon memory wire, and French wire. Shop wholesale prices online.

Stringing wire is one place where the brand on the spool matters, and this collection carries two names makers recognize. Soft Flex beading wire is stocked in fine, medium, and heavy weights, covering delicate strands through to designs built from larger stone and glass beads, with lengths such as 30 ft (9.1 m) suited to ongoing beadwork rather than single projects. Alongside it sits Beadalon memory wire for bracelets, the pre-coiled wire that holds a bracelet's shape without a clasp, available in silver and gold tones, including a 0.50 oz (14.2 g) assorted-sizes kit for makers working across wrist sizes.

The collection also covers two supporting materials strung designs often call for. Beadalon French wire in silver, 0.7mm, is the fine coiled wire traditionally used to protect thread at the clasp ends of pearl and bead strands, giving finished pieces a professional close. Stainless steel big eye beading needles, sold in packs of two, open along their length for easy threading and suit fine stringing work. Pair the wire with strands from natural stones, glass beads, and glass pearls, and finish designs with components from findings.

Why Choose Our Beading Wire?

The wire inside a strand decides how the design handles. Here's what this collection puts on the bench.

Soft Flex in Three Weights
Fine, medium, and heavy Soft Flex wire covers the span of strung work, from lightweight delicate strands to designs carrying larger stone and glass beads, letting makers match the wire to the piece.

Beadalon Memory Wire for Clasp-Free Bracelets
Memory wire holds its coil, so bracelets keep their shape and fit a range of wrists without a clasp. Stocked in silver and gold tones, with an assorted-sizes kit covering different diameters.

French Wire for a Professional Finish
Beadalon French wire, 0.7mm in silver, protects the thread at clasp connections on pearl and bead strands, the finishing detail that marks a professionally strung piece

Recognized Brands, Wholesale Prices
Soft Flex and Beadalon are names makers already trust, stocked here at wholesale pricing rather than craft-store markups.

Needles in the Same Collection
Stainless steel big-eye beading needles sit alongside the wire, so the threading tool for fine stringing work arrives in the same order.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is beading wire?
Beading wire is a flexible stringing material used to carry beads in strung bracelet and necklace designs. This collection stocks Soft Flex beading wire in fine, medium, and heavy weights, alongside Beadalon memory wire and French wire.

Which Soft Flex weight should I choose?
Match the weight to the beads: fine suits lightweight and small-hole beads, medium is the all-purpose choice for most stone, glass, and pearl strands, and heavy suits designs with larger, weightier beads. Check each product listing for specifications.

What is memory wire?
Memory wire is a pre-coiled wire that springs back to its shape, used for wrap-style bracelets that need no clasp. Beads slide on, the ends are finished, and the coil holds the bracelet on the wrist across a range of sizes.

What is French wire used for?
French wire, also called gimp or bullion wire, is a fine coiled tube threaded over the stringing material where it meets the clasp, protecting it from wear at the connection point. It's a traditional finishing detail in pearl and fine bead stringing.

What is a big eye beading needle?
A big eye needle opens along nearly its whole length, forming one long eye that's easy to thread even with thicker stringing materials. The stainless steel needles in this collection come two per pack.
