Jewellery made with beading wire is held together with <a href="http://www.jencel.co.uk/beads/spfindings1.php" target="_blank">crimps</a>, tiny metal tubes (crimp tubes) or rounded tubes (crimp beads). The quickest and easiest way is simply to thread the wire through a crimp, then through a fastener or jump ring and back through the crimp and the first few beads, then squash the crimp with <a href="http://www.jencel.co.uk/beads/pliers.php" target="_blank">flat nose pliers</a> to grip the wire.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGxo9P7JB_dbIwEpeSdZBWkYFK5P_fxrWXu6JF8AP6KquPvDCycrHPxmIfqPtQuXFb3vfVGAhJDdNXY1sW17BHz__YWN1iScz2XWnCHATp4GAcqE4QQ1mDSCleO2URSS4G_HjyS9nUayy2/s1600/crimps1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGxo9P7JB_dbIwEpeSdZBWkYFK5P_fxrWXu6JF8AP6KquPvDCycrHPxmIfqPtQuXFb3vfVGAhJDdNXY1sW17BHz__YWN1iScz2XWnCHATp4GAcqE4QQ1mDSCleO2URSS4G_HjyS9nUayy2/s1600/crimps1.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
As this doesn't look so pretty, the crimp can be scratchy on the
neck, and the wire can poke it's way out from between the beads, there are ways to hide the crimp to give a more professional
finish to the jewellery.<br />
<br />
One way is to use <a href="http://www.jencel.co.uk/beads/spfindings1.php" target="_blank">calottes</a>,
or necklace ends, which are a cup shaped finding with a hole in the
centre to thread the wire through. This one has a hook which closes
around the jump ring or fastener.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
You then crimp the wire inside the calotte, leaving a
tiny bit of the wire sticking out of the crimp, just enough so that you
can see it. Then you know it is well gripped and not caught by just one
edge of the crimp. Gently close the cups of the calotte over the
crimp.<br />
<br />

Use it in the same way, attaching the jump rings through the two loops.<br />

<br />
<br />
Calottes are best suited to lightish necklaces. Some beaders aren't keen on them, finding them quite weak, but I would say (again!) that there is a quality issue here. Good quality calottes and crimps will hold a necklace or bracelet together for a long time.<br />
<br />
If you are new to crimping, it's a good idea to try and tug the wire out of the crimp. If you can't, you'll know it is gripping well.<br />
<br />
Next time - using crimp covers.<br />
<br />

Therefore, a <a href="http://www.jencel.co.uk/beads/f7s.php" target="_blank">clear wire</a>, the most popular among beaders, looks greyish or silvery as you can see the metal wires inside the plastic. This can be a great design feature, if some wire is showing between the beads.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Beading Wire also comes in a range of <a href="http://www.jencel.co.uk/beads/flexcolours.php" target="_blank">colours</a>, many of them with a metallic look, and these can add zing to your jewellery<br />
<br />
This is the same design, done with a soft gold colour wire to tone in with the beads.<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Beading wire is made from very fine strands of wire, twisted like a rope and coated in plastic, and is most beaders choice for stringing necklaces and bracelets. It can be used for earrings too (more about that next time). There's a huge variety of different strengths and thicknesses available, which is why some explanation is needed!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Basically, there are two things you need to know - strand count, and diameter.</span></span><br />
<br />
<h4>
Strand Count</h4>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Beading wire is available in different strand counts - 7, 21 and 49 strand are the most common, although 3 and 19 strand are also occasionally available.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">7 strand (commonly known as tigertail) is the most economical, but also less strong and less flexible than the higher stranded wires. The images show a cross-section<span style="font-size: small;">, so you can see how it's constructed.</span></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">As the number of strands increases, so does the strength and flexibility, and also the price. 21 strand is made of 3 strands of 7, which is like 3 ropes twisted together. </span></div>
</div>

<br /></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">49 strand, the strongest and most flexible of them all, is made of 7 strands of 7.</span><br />

<h4>
Diameter</h4>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Beading wires are also available in a variety of diameters</span>, from a very fine .0007" up to .024". Therefore, a 7 strand with a diameter of .024" is thicker than a 49 strand with a diameter of .014". But the 49 will still be the stronger and more flexible one.</span><br />
<br />
<h4>
Choosing your Beading Wire</h4>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Because we have such a huge choice, it can be difficult to make your decision. Price is obviously a factor, and 7 strand is a good quality at an economical price. It's the one I'd recommend for beginners, and is fine for everyday, not too heavy, necklaces and bracelets. But if you graduate onto the more expensive wires, you will really notice the difference. For heavy glass, metal or gemstone beads, 49 strand is by far the best. I also like a 21 strand .014" diameter for lightweight beading, as it gives a beautiful drape.</span><br />
<br />
<h4>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Brands</span></h4>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I would advise to always choose a known brand. <a href="http://www.jencel.co.uk/beads/f49s.php" target="_blank">Flexrite</a>, <a href="http://www.jencel.co.uk/beads/accuflex.php" target="_blank">Accuflex</a>, Beadalon and <a href="http://www.jencel.co.uk/beads/acculon.php" target="_blank">Acculon</a> are all good quality brands. I have made the mistake of buying a cheap unbranded one, that was just called Tigertail and it's barely good enough to give away, let alone to sell.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I hope that's clearer than mud, and that it's "all you need to know"! If you have any questions, or if I've left something out, post a comment below.</span><br />

</h2>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">I'd been making jewellery for many years before I learned this simple trick, and I've been using it ever since. I came across it on the <a href="http://ukbeaders.forumup.org/index.php?mforum=ukbeaders&sid=034188d98f8fc302d61015848faff30d" target="_blank">UK Beaders Forum</a>, which is a great resource and discussion area for jewellery makers.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">When you have designed your earring and are ready to make the loop, add a measure bead to the headpin. The one shown is <a href="http://www.jencel.co.uk/beads/firepol8mmab.php" target="_blank">8mm</a>, which I find is the best size. A 6mm measure bead would also work, but it would give a smaller loop.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
You will need - your choice of beads, headpins, a pair of earwires, round nose pliers, and pliers to cut metal (nail clippers will also do this job, but they will wear out more quickly!).<br />

wire curves around them. You need to keep the wire hugging the pliers to form a nice circle. I find it helps to rest the wire on the index finger of my left hand (I am right handed) and hold it in place with my thumb. About half way round, you will need to slacken the
pliers and reposition them to continue</span>.<br />

loop, your loop is complete. It should be sitting centrally above the beads,
and there should be no gap where the wires meet. If not, don't worry, you will perfect this skill with practice.</span><br />

Hi, I'm Celia, and I've been in the world of beading since 1985. I started by making beaded jewellery as a hobby, then as a small business. I started selling beads and jewellery making supplies in about 1995, at my bead shop in a Sheffield suburb for 11 years. I closed the bricks and mortar shop in 2008 to sell online and through bead fairs around the country.<br />
<br />
Beading has become much more sophisticated and varied over the years, with so many more beads, threads and findings available for us to use. I'm still learning!<br />
<br />
Through this blog, I'm hoping to bring your techniques, information and inspiration for jewellery making and beadwork.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10000836234314514038noreply@blogger.com4
