Wire Guard
These little findings look like horseshoes. They are used to protect wire or thread at the end of a beaded piece by encasing the stringing material in a channel.
Simply put your needle through one of the round tube-like ends, over the channel and down though the other tube end and continue beading or finish off your thread.
Quantity: 144 pieces
Color/Finish: Antique Brass Plated Base Metal
Size: 4x5mm (OD on these is about 5x5mm. The tubes on either side measurements:
I put a 22 gauge wire through it easily, and according to my chart, that’s .0253″ (.643mm))
See the picture of my bracelet for how to use them to protect your thread from the wear and tear of a jump ring.
