Topics: Stringing Material for Pearls and Small Beads

Q.
What size Accu-Flex® beading wire is best for pearls or small beads? I am worried that the wire will slip over time.

A.
I recommend 0.012 or 0.014, 49 strand Accu-Flex® Professional Quality Beading Wire for pearls and gemstones because their holes are small and the 49 strand is the most flexible, offering a beautiful drape. If your small beads also have small holes I would recommend the same diameter wire, otherwise, if the bead holes are larger, I would suggest 0.019, 49 strand.
