The Beadalon Difference…We Make It.
Highlights Beadalon’s manufacturing advantage, as they produce their own wire to ensure quality control and innovation. Offers practical advice: choose the thickest wire that fits your beads, space beads to reduce abrasion, select flexibility for drape, and use accessories like wire guardians, scrimp or EZ crimp findings, and bead bumpers for durability.
- Use the largest diameter wire possible that will pass through the smallest bead hole in your design.
- Increase bead spacing. Spread contact with the wire over a greater area to reduce the effects of abrasion.
- Choose the type of wire with the flexibility that will allow your design to look, feel, and drape the way you want.
- Use Wire Guardians to minimize the effects of abrasion at the clasp area.
- Use Scrimp Findings and EZ-Crimp Findings for maximum connection and strength.
- Use Bead Bumpers in between crystals and glass beads to cushion and protect from contact and wear.
