Ask the Experts Stringing Q&A
What is the best material for stringing spiny oyster heishi beads? What kind of fastener would be best?
There are a variety of stringing materials that you could use to string spiny oyster heishi beads. Our pick would be 0.019 49-strand Accu-Flex® for durability and drape. Typically, Accu-Flex will be finished with a 2x2mm crimp tube, an Accu-Guard™ and a 4mm crimp cover in whatever finish you enjoy. We suggest using sterling silver crimp tubes, as they are more malleable and less prone to cracking, giving you a tight, long-lasting crimp.
