4.5mm x 4mm Wire Guardian - Platinum - 20 Pieces

A Wire Guard, also known as a Wire Guardian or Horseshoe, is a small yet essential finding designed to protect your beading wire, silk cord, or thread at the connection point of your jewellery. This clever horseshoe-shaped component prevents wear and fraying by shielding your stringing material where it passes through clasps, jump rings, or other connectors—ensuring a neat, professional, and long-lasting finish. Ideal for strung beadwork, silk-knotted jewellery, and handsewn designs, the wire guard creates a smooth channel for your thread or wire, keeping it from rubbing against metal findings. It also helps maintain the shape of your piece, giving a tidy and symmetrical look at both ends of a strand. To use, simply thread your beading wire or silk through one side of the guard, loop it around the curved section, and pass it back through the opposite side before securing with a crimp or knot. Durable and easy to use, wire guards are available in a range of finishes to complement your design. Whether you’re creating delicate pearl necklaces or modern beaded bracelets, this small component makes a big difference—offering both strength and polish to your handmade creations. 4.5mm x 4mm Wire Guardian - Platinum
