FRENCH WIRE .8MM VINT Silver

$422 $649

SKU: WF08-VS

French wire — also called bullion or gimp — is a tightly coiled metal tube that slips over stringing thread where it meets a clasp, shielding the thread from friction and wear. This Beadalon version comes in a vintage silver finish with a fully opaque, plated-metal look and measures 0.8mm in diameter across 1 meter of coil.

The vintage silver finish reads like aged sterling — cool-toned and matte-metallic rather than flashy chrome, so it blends naturally with oxidized silver findings and antique-style clasps.

What to make with them

Cut small segments and thread them onto beading wire or silk cord before attaching your clasp loop — they curl neatly around the wire and hide the attachment point on necklaces, bracelets, and rosaries. They work especially well on heirloom-style stringing projects where the hardware is meant to be seen.
