The type of stringing material you choose affects the style of your design as well as its structure. Elastic is an easy-to-use material that makes easy-to-wear jewelry. Organza ribbon, silk string, and satin cord are elegant textiles which can be tied in a bow for a stylish finish or used with metal findings like crimps and cord ends to connect to a clasp. You can emphasize earthier tones in your jewelry with hemp, waxed linen, or cotton cord.
