THE WIRE GUARDIAN , ONE OF MY FAVORITE FINDINGS

WIRE GUARDIANS GIVE YOUR WIRE THAT ADDED STRENGTH IT NEEDS AND ALSO GIVES YOUR WORK THAT POLISHED, FINISHED, AND  PROFESSIONAL LOOK...

After you have strung all the beads on the beading wire and you have them like you want them, you add your crimp bead (I prefer the 2x2mm tube shaped crimps), and insert the wire through one side of the wire guardian. These guards are available in both silver and gold plate and for the piece pictured, I used .015 beading wire.
