Silk Thread

For pearls, or items where the thread is part of the design. Very soft and luxurious feeling and glossy with a soft sheen, really changes colour depending on the angle you look at it. Silk is arguably the most beautiful natural fiber in the world. This is smooth, twisted three-ply, 100% pure silk thread.  Extremely supple, yet resistant to stretch and wear.  Durable enough to withstand the abrasion of pearls, glass beads, and gemstones.  Champion bead cord is plied from pure Chinese long filament silk.

Traditionally, pearls were knotted to keep them from rubbing on each other, and if the thread broke, you only lost one instead of the entire strand. ;-) Transparent stone or glass beads can be strung on a deeper self-colour to make their colour look richer. Try Amethyst on Plum, or Rose Quartz on Rose.
