It’s magic! String SmartBeads onto a chain or cord and viola, they stay put without knotting or using crimps! These ingenious beads have a gripping rubber gasket inside that allows the bead to be positioned and repositioned. Put regular beads in-between 2 SmartBeads to make a series that will stay in place. Your necklace design can be changed daily if you like by simply sliding the beads to a new position! Works wonderfully on chain, cord (about 1mm) and thicker threads. Here’s some threading tips: Easiest to thread when using a link chain. Take thin wire, double it over through the end link of the chain. Thread the doubled ends of the wire through the SmartBead and pull the bead onto the chain. When using cord, wrap the thin wire tightly around the end of the cord and leave a "needle" of wire to thread through the SmartBead and pull onto the cord. SmartBeads come in bright, shiny sterling silver and 14kt gold filled.
