Beadalon49 Strand Stainless Steel Bead Stringing Wire, .024 in / 0.61 mm, Bright, 10 ft / 3.1 m

I needed a slightly thicker wire for this gemstone necklace, as my first attempt with a thinner wire left me in a precarious situation. I believe this .024” Beadalon wire was sturdy and gave a professional feeling. I had a little trouble double looping back through some narrow seashell beads and had to do some last minute redesigning for the cable to fit. I was puzzled by the meaning of some of the graphics and notations on the canister, front and back. I finally found a parallel chart, through an online search, with explanations revealing to me the symbols were referring likely to corresponding sizes of crimp beads and tubes. It would have been nice to explain these graphics on the item itself, for the new people. I am happy to have gained a new tool to complete my project.
