If you are stringing your beads on a wire rather than a string, this offers a number of stylistic advantages. You can shape the necklace or earrings in a more complex way, to give a more defined look and feel to the finished piece. When using wire as part of your medium for handmade beaded jewelry, it’s helpful to have a good pair of wire cutters at your disposal. With the right tool, you’ll be able to snip off the tiniest pieces of wire, for the ultimate level of precision. These same tools can also be used to bend the wire rather than cutting it.
