All about stringing

The oldest method of wearing beaded jewellery is to string the beads together. Many different types of thread can be used, but some of most common ones are silk thread, cotton thread, nylon, and nylon coated wire. Necklaces strung on coated wire based threads are stiffer and do not drape as well as those strung on silk or nylon, so you really need to think about your necklace or bracelet design before you choose your thread.
