WF08-G: FRENCHWIRE 0.8MM GLD PLT 1MTR is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
French wire — also called gimp or bullion — is the coiled metal tubing that gives strung necklaces and bracelets that clean, jeweler-finished look where thread meets clasp. This 0.8mm gold-plate version from Beadalon gives you one full meter to work with.
The gold-plate finish is warm and lustrous, reading as richly traditional — right at home alongside pearls, garnets, or anything with a Regency-era or old-money aesthetic.

What to make with them
Thread it onto your stringing material before attaching a clasp to create a neat loop that protects silk or nylon from metal wear at the connection point. It also works beautifully on knotted pearl strands where you want a tidy, professional terminus instead of an exposed knot.

Description
French Wire, 0.80 mm / .032 in, Copper Base, Gold Color, 1 m / 3.28 ft
French Wire, also known as 'Gimp' and 'Bullion' is used to cover and protect bead cord from friction and breakage at the clasp area. By covering the ends of the bead cord, Bullion Wire fortifies the silk beading cord and also gives the design a professional finish.
To use: cut two matching pieces of French Wire between 1/4” and 3/8” depending on the size of the clasp rings, and use it both when beginning and ending a knotted or strung strand.
