Which thread to use with Swarovski 5000 3 mm round beads?
Rondes 5000 3 mm generally have a 0.9 mm hole, so you'll need a smaller diameter wire. For the type of wire (elastic, corded, nylon, etc.), it all depends on your project. For a quick bracelet, elastic wire is perfect. For a necklace with more hold, opt for cabled wire.
