Q.
What is the best chain or cord to use with the Dione beads or any large hole beads.
- Melanie
A.
Caprice chain, 3-4mm rubber cording, 3mm woven cotton, 3-4mm leather cording, 3mm bolo cord and 3x1mm faux suede lacing will all work great with the Dione large-hole beads. Omega chain up to 3.5mm width also works well.

Tutorials for using and finishing each of these types of chain and cording can be found below under Resources.
