French Wire, also known as cannetille, is a fine, supple metallic thread used in jewelry and embroidery to give creations an elegant, professional finish.
Made from metal wound into a tight spiral, it protects and strengthens mounting wires, while adding a refined touch to clasps and beads.
Ideal for jewelry-making techniques, French Wire is commonly used to create fine finisheson beaded necklaces and bracelets, avoiding premature wear of silk or nylon wires against friction and breakage at the clasp.
It's also prized in ornamental embroidery, notably for Lunéville crochet embroidery or gold embroidery, where it adds relief and shine to patterns.
