For those of you who want to get into making necklaces and bracelets by stringing beads, we have a bead stringing kit.  In the olden days, people would make beaded necklaces by stringing beads onto silk thread and knotting the silk thread between each bead.  The reason for the knot between each bead is that it is not a question of whether the silk thread will break, it is only a question of when.  Glass beads, pearl beads and metal beads are all significantly harder than silk and the action of wearing the necklace or bracelet causes the beads to spin and move against the silk.  Over time, that motion causes abrasion and ultimately parting of the silk.  In fact, even gold and silver wire used to make a necklace or bracelet can be sawed apart by glass beads if worn long enough.  In the 1990's technology created a solution to this problem when the Soft Flex Company developed their bead stringing wire.  There are two major advantages of using this new technology solution -- first, since the bead stringing wire does not break, you won't have to knot between each bead, and second, since you don't have to tie the time consuming knots, you can make an attractive necklace in a fraction of the time.  We believe that knotting silk thread is a wonderful skill, just as spinning your own thread from raw cotton or wool is a wonderful skill; but we aren't going to recommend that anyone who is new to making jewelry start with this archaic approach.  This long introduction is our way of explaining why our Beads Stringing Kit is a kit that will get a newcomer to stringing beads started with today's technology by stringing the beads on bead stringing wire with no knotting required.
