Beadalon 49 Strand Stainless Steel Bead Stringing Wire.018 in / 0.46 mm, Bright, 30 ft / 9.2 m

Nice weight.

Again love this wire, doesnt kink and is easy to work with.

Works very well for my needs: rigging small sculptural elements; its flexible and easily tied/knotted. The bad: it would be very helpful to have the break weight in the product copy and/or on the packaging.

I use this wire to make two crafts with the heavier one being a suncatcher made of a 30mm prism and between 10-15 lampwork beads with gemstone beads in the middle. This wire has no problem holding all of that weight without fraying. It is exceptionally flexible which allows my suncatchers to dangle freely. I previously used 19 strand wire and the flexibility of this wire is considerably noticeable. The coating on this wire also makes stringing beads a breeze. I have been using the Beadalon Bright wire for a couple of years now exclusively. It is better than than any other brand at a fraction of the cost. The .018 is perfect for my project as well as necklaces and bracelets. It is non-tarnishing and in my opinion a great alternative to authentic silver wire.

Best wire yet. Have made a few bracelets using wire and I like the fact it doesnt clink on me.

I have been using the seven strand wire for about a year now. When I discovered that a higher count means greater flexibility I tried this one. It is thicker, of course, so it wont work with all small beads but for the ones that I was able to get it work with it makes the feeling of the bracelet so much better. The flexibility and the strength is incredible. It doesnt kink which I really appreciate. I will definitely be buying this wire count again.

This purchase was a waste of money - not because it is completely useless, but because you have a better option for a better price. As you know, the more strands, the looser the drape, and the more it costs. This 49 strand .018 inch Beadalon wire is SO STIFF, that you might as well purchase a 21 or 19 strand .014 inch wire for less. I made the mistake of thinking that if it is 49 strand, it will be high quality - especially if made by Beadalon. For size reference, it is hardly thin enough to pass twice through a size 11/0 seed bead. It is also very very difficult to cut - neither of my wire cutters would do it cleanly.

Good quality is what it says it is.

Crap .. my necklaces and bracelets keep wearing and breaking. Not strong. Waste of money. Very disappointed. And VERY bad for business.

We ordered this bead wire because it is the best there is when it comes to making jewelry that you dont want falling apart on you. Very easy to handle as well.
