Question 1

What is the advantage of waxed cord in jewellery making — why not simply use plain cotton?

Accepted Answer

The wax coating offers several benefits: the cord becomes more durable and does not fray as easily during wear. The waxed surface glides more smoothly during knotting — particularly when pulling a knot tight, this makes a significant difference. Finished knots also stay tighter because the wax prevents loosening. For cords worn as jewellery, moisture resistance is especially important — the wax coating provides this.

Question 2

What jewellery can be made from this 2 mm, 55 cm waxed cord?

Accepted Answer

The 2 mm thickness and 55 cm length are ideally suited to bracelets — a single length of cord can be used to make a 1-2 wrap wrist-woven bracelet or a knotted bracelet (such as macrame style). Multiple strands twisted together can also be used for necklaces. It is also excellent as a stringing cord for beadwork, and for tying shells, wooden beads and stone pendants. The beige colour is particularly beautiful combined with natural materials — wood, coconut and stone.

Question 3

How many pieces are sufficient for a beginner jewellery-making class?

Accepted Answer

In a beginner jewellery-making class, a student typically uses 2-5 strands of cord for one bracelet (depending on the technique). If planning stock for 20 participants and 3 projects, that equates to 120-300 pieces. The 100-piece pack provides a sufficient base for a smaller group (8-10 people, 1-2 projects). For regular teaching, it is worth keeping at least 2-3 packs in stock to ensure continuous sessions.
