French wire — also called bullion or gimp — is the coiled metal tubing that protects your stringing thread or cord where it loops through a clasp, giving necklaces and bracelets a clean, finished look at the connection point. This 1-meter length in rose gold gives you plenty to work with across multiple projects.
The rose gold finish sits in warm blush-copper territory — richer than plain gold, softer than copper — and pairs naturally with champagne pearls, cognac garnets, dusty rose quartz, or warm earth-tone seed beads.

What to make with them
Cut small segments and thread them onto your beading wire or silk cord before looping through a lobster clasp or toggle ring to shield the thread from abrasion and metal wear. It also works beautifully in bead embroidery as a raised couching element, adding a subtle metallic ridge alongside seed bead rows.

French Wire is tiny, coiled wire that covers the silk (or other stringing material) at the clasp when knotting pearls or beads.
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.
