Beading enthusiasts and professional bead jewelry makers alike look upon wire guards as an essential element of their beading jewelry supplies. Made of sterling silver, wire guards or cable guards are hybrid jewelry findings used for ensuring the longevity of beaded jewelry while giving a neat finished look to the piece. Beading wires can wear with time, especially at the points where it rubs against other findings such as clasps. Wire guards, being hollow, U-shaped metallic tubes, protect the wire from chaffing and giving way, thereby increasing the longevity of your creation.

The wire guards, also known as Cable guards or Cable thimbles, are used for necklaces, bracelets, or with watch faces. To ensure, that the guard stays in place, crimp it after threading the stringing material through.
