WF08-VS: FRENCH WIRE .8MM VINT SILV 1MTR
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.
Specifications
- Size: 8mm
- Color: FRENCH WIRE . VINT SILV 1MTR (mixed)
- Material: Metal, made in United States
- Quantity: 1 Meter
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.
