The Many Uses of Accu-Flex®

For many jewelry makers, top-rated Accu-Flex professional-quality beading wire is their go-to stringing material. This soft beading wire utilizes an advanced wire-bundling technology, resulting in increased strength and durability, while maintaining flexibility for a nice drape. It's the whole package—on a spool!


This stainless-steel cable, comprised of 7, 21, or 49 strands encased in a nylon coating, comes in a rainbow of colors, allowing Accu-Flex to be a part of any design. Accu-Flex is top-rated in independent laboratory tests for strength, kink resistance, and flexibility. This wire works hard and is a breeze to crimp.

Accu-Flex is ideal for a variety of jewelry-making techniques, including:


  • Stringing beads: Perfect for creating necklaces, bracelets, and anklets due to its flexibility and durability.
  • Multi-strand designs: Excellent for layered or multi-strand jewelry pieces.
  • Heavy beads: Strong enough to support heavier beads like gemstones or glass.
  • "Floating" bead designs: The fine wire is great for creating designs where the beads seem to float on the wire.
  • Custom drape: Accu-Flex allows you to create custom "drapes" in your designs. Using a heavier gauge provides a stiffer drape, while thinner wire results in a more flowing, swag-like appearance.

Accu-Flex can also be used in more decorative or creative ways. For instance, it’s a great choice for weaving bracelets with multiple colors, or even forming shapes with the wire. With its various colors, Accu-Flex shines in popular intermittent stringing techniques, adding vibrancy to your designs. We've even seen it used in imaginative ways, such as whiskers on polymer clay cats or chains for lightweight decorative jewelry.

The many possibilities of Accu-Flex extend beyond traditional uses. Did you know you can curl Accu-Flex like curling ribbon on gift wrap? The creative potential is limitless.

Accu-Flex is the ideal stringing material for whatever project you're inspired to create, offering trusted strength and long-lasting durability. Have fun exploring what this versatile beading wire can do for you!
