Beadalon 19-Strand Satin Gold Bead Stringing Wire, 0.015 in — 30.5 m, Flexible & Kink-Resistant

Beadalon 19-Strand Satin Gold 0.015-inch bead stringing wire is a flexible, nylon-coated stainless steel wire that gives necklaces and bracelets a soft, matte gold appearance while offering superior drape and kink resistance.

This satin-finish bead stringing wire blends the look of fine silk with the strength of multi-strand steel. Manufactured in the USA by Beadalon, the 19-strand construction is coated in a unique nylon sheath that creates a silky feel and a muted gold tone that complements plated findings, crystals, gemstones and glass beads. At 0.015 inches in diameter and supplied on a 100-foot spool, it lets you make many finished pieces while keeping a professional profile and long-lasting wear.

How does this 19-strand wire behave compared with other bead wires?

The 19-strand format provides a softer, more supple line than 7-strand wire, delivering superior flexibility and drape. Its higher strand count reduces memory so finished pieces hang smoothly and resist kinks, while the nylon coating preserves a silky hand for comfortable wear.

• Softer, more supple feel than 7-strand alternatives
• Excellent drape for graceful necklaces and bracelets
• High kink and abrasion resistance for longer life
• Thread-like flexibility makes it suitable for exposed wire looks

What applications suit this satin gold 0.015-inch wire best?

Use this wire for beaded necklaces, multi-strand designs, and jewellery where the wire may be visible as part of the aesthetic. It works especially well with crystals and glass beads that benefit from a soft, warm gold backdrop without the cost or stiffness of solid gold wire.

• Stringing crystal, gemstone, and glass bead designs
• Exposed-wire necklace or bracelet styles paired with plated findings
• Delicate, multi-strand pieces that need excellent drape
• Projects requiring reliable kink and abrasion resistance

How do I finish and secure pieces made with Beadalon Satin Gold wire?

Finish this wire with standard crimp beads or crimp tubes and plated findings that match the satin gold tone for a cohesive look. Because the wire is flexible yet strong, use the appropriate-sized crimp and a proper crimping tool to ensure a secure, neat termination without damaging the nylon coating.

• Select crimp beads sized for 0.015-inch diameter wire
• Use flat or half-round crimping pliers for best results
• Trim excess with flush cutters and hide crimps behind beads or covers
• Pair with plated lobster clasps, jump rings, and bead tips in gold tones

Will the satin nylon coating change how my beads move or feel?

The nylon sheath softens the wire’s hand and reduces friction so beads slide smoothly, improving comfort and wearability. The coating’s matte gold finish also mutes reflections, giving beadwork a refined, understated elegance that photographs and wears well.

• Silky texture enhances wearer comfort
• Matte colouring provides a subtle, elegant gold look
• Coating lowers bead-on-wire friction for smoother movement
• Maintains flexibility while protecting the steel core
