"Next thing I'm going to talk about is your wire that you use to string up your necklaces and your bracelets. This wire is called Beadalon, it's a manufacturer. They make several different pounds and several different strands. The more strands of course, the more expensive and also the stronger it is. I, from my experience, I have learned that I like the seven strand the most, flexible, and I do double it when I make my necklace so it makes it even more stronger. The pounds on this is twenty pounds and I do buy it by the thousand foot. It runs about thirty dollars wholesale. So, it's a good strong wire and you don't have to worry about things breaking if used properly when your customer buys your necklace, you don't have to worry about damage or wear and tear on it. It does last longer. It's a very good wire. "
