Steel Tiger Tail Is Best for Heavy Jewelry Designs

Steel tiger tail is a stiffer wire that consists of many thin strands of steel wires. It is a nylon coated wire cable which is used for heavier beads and jewelry making. This kind of wire comes in a variety of sizes and colors. It is usually used for necklaces making, bracelets making or anklets making.

Tiger tail, also sometimes spelt Tigertail, is really a kind of beading wire. They are resilient and durable. They are available in different sizes (from 0.3mm to 1mm) and various colors; you can choose what you like or suitable for your designs. Using this kind of wire to string beads is very easy, as this wire is not soft and won’t knot itself. And just because they are not soft as some other cords which can be knotted easily, you need to use crimp beads to make ends with this wire to stop jewelry beads fall off. You can make a loop with this wire to hold your clasp before you press crimp beads, and then you don’t need to use jump rings to attach the clasps onto your necklace or bracelet.

A jewelry designer said:”Steel tiger tail wire is actually my favorite kind of jewelry making wire to use for creating beaded necklaces. It is flexible like string, but with the strength of wire. It is actually a braided stainless steel wire coated with nylon. This makes it a perfect substitute for string with sharper beads like glass and stone. The rough edges of the beads will not wear out this wire as they would string. You can use this as wire completely covered up with beads, or for that “floating” bead look. This wire requires the use of crimp beads to secure clasps to it, and to get that floating effect. However, tiger tail is not a wire wrapping wire.”
