Beads and jewelry design is a great hobby that can become a large company if they wish. But before making his name as a developer forefront of fashion accessories, you need to know their origins, and discussions are pearls of basic and complex. There are a variety of brands out there, and can be very confusing if you do not know what they are or how to use them. We will try to shed light on the subject.

cord Nylon

nylon yarn is a single strand of nylon plastic in a specific diameter. Is solid and cheap, but a little stiff and knot and an easily twisted in knots. nylon comes in a wide range of colors and sizes or thicknesses, and the variety of colors is ideal for use as an invisible when you want the beads to be the main feature and that seem to float in the body. Brands include the line Fire and Nymo. Not to be confused with nylon thread, which is multi braid can be seen in the game and Seam applications.

elastic thread

elastic nylon thread too, but it is elastic and flexible. Is it ideal for making bracelets and other jewelry without locks, but make sure you finish the knot with a little glue or eventually falls apart. Again, is available in a wide range of colors and sizes. Brands include Stretch Magic.

Tigertail

Tigertail is several strands of stainless steel twisted wire is then coated with a thin nylon cover can be any color. The number of strands in the basic scales of 3-7 or more, and generally better filament yarn. It also comes in a range of diameters. Tigertail option is the most strong, and in normal use will not break, but is a little stiff and twisted knot. Its great for large grains, and that no unsightly Tigertail that can be used in applications where the material is visible lying. Brands include Beadalon.

Terylene thread

Terylene thread is my favorite is a synthetic yarn so it does not rot, very flexible and has great movement of necklaces, pretty to see what does not harm their designs, but is ultimately responsible for the wear, you will come back to life a few years. It comes in a wide range of colors, knots, well, better and all, its price! I have not seen anyone selling it, I can not say about any brand.

Natural discussions

Cotton or silk, they have great flexibility and are traditionally used in the pose of cereals, including the laying of the decay pearls.They use and age, and in particular chemicals and wet like the scent. Traditional techniques involving the knot between each jeweler account so that if and when the wire is broken only 1 or 2 drops or pearls have been lost, but that makes it costly to use when jewelry making.

Correa or cable

Thicker than standard materials trend, the belt is used mainly for earrings or hang decorative knots, like those of our href = "http://www.magpiejewellery.net/Jewellery-Kits/c19/index.html"> Chinese kit tracery. It is used more in the stands grains Pandora beads became popular. Belt can be waxed cotton (waterproof wax and make it less susceptible to rot), leather, silk or satin (rat tail) and is most often found in 1 mm and 2 mm in diameter, but may give rise to a maximum 5 mm in diameter.

wire

metal comes in a variety of colors, finishes, coatings, etc.. You can work with metals or precious metals, depending on your budget and suitability of the project. A mistake that many beginners is to use wire to pearl necklace as a necklace cord, for example. wire is not suitable for any project where the shots and flexible cable, the movement causes metal fatigue, which means that the cable breaks. Wire should be used for projects such as tiaras rigid, OT for the rigid parts flexible working, such as jump rings and Headpins.

memory wire

The memory wire is alloy steel elastic, usually silver or galvanized silver or gold. Is used to form necklaces and bracelets and rings spiral necklace. He is called son memory because it retains its shape and is very difficult to do otherwise. For finishing the ends when you finish your project, glue half heel pierced at each end with epoxy resin glue.
