Perfect for beading in the old Haskell style with wire (I use 28 gauge goldplated.) Perfect for manipulating and connecting as well. Sold in a package of SIX pieces. Russian Goldplated finish is the closest thing you'll find to the old Haskell finish anywhere, and it is a real 18K goldplated base, a TRUE DESIGNER FINISH. Did you know we use the top costume jewelry plater in the US trade? We do. This is no cheap regular goldplate. This the stuff the best designers use!
