Frequently asked questions about the product: Memory wire choker

Q: Hi there, please can you tell me how to use this? Do you just fill the wire with beads and then curl the ends so that they hook together? Thank you.
A: Yes, that's exactly right! The ends don't have to hook together, you can just curl them over to finish it off or glue a bead on the end as a stopper if you'd rather finish it off that way instead.

Q: I'm finding that the memory wire doesn't hold its shape once the beads are on. Is this wire only suitable for very small beads?
A: It should hold its shape unless you're using loads of big heavy glass or metal beads. You could try stiffening it by bending it tighter with pliers, sometimes the more you shape it with pliers the stiffer it gets. If you can't use the wire you have please e-mail me at mailbox@beadsunlimited.co.uk and I'll arrange for a return and refund.

Q: If I buy the wholesale-pack of "50 items" of necklace memorywire, will it be 50 pre-cut circles, or will it be 50 continuous loops? Thanks!
A: This wire comes in 50 pre-cut lengths (each is big enough to coil one and a half times round a neck), you can buy a continuous coil at: www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Heavyweight-memory-wire-large/bo4144

Q: Is the lightweight memory wire fine enough to go through seed beads? I've an idea for a 2 or 3 strand choker using pearls & seed beads & memory wire seems like a good option for easy stringing......
A: Yes the memory wire fits through size 11 and size 8 rocailles.

Q: what clasp should I use on a memory wire choker? Thanks
A: Memory wire is designed to snap back into whatever shape you give it so the simplest memory wire jewellery wraps around you and hugs to you. You can also bend the wire into loops and use a simple hook between them www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Heavy-hook-sprung/bo4034 or something a bit fancier like a trigger clasp www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Trigger-clasp-SP/bo5235
