Tiger tail is a durable, flexible, and kink-resistant wire crafted from multiple strands of thin stainless steel coated with nylon. This robust design makes it the perfect choice for stringing a wide range of beads like gemstones, crystals, or metal components, ensuring strength and longevity.

To achieve a polished and professional finish, tiger tail is typically used with crimping pliers, wire guardians, and crimp bead covers :
1. Thread the Components: Slide a crimp bead and wire guardian onto the tiger tail.
2. Crimp the Bead: Use crimping pliers to secure the crimp bead in place, locking the wire securely.
3. Add a Crimp Cover: Finish by placing a crimp cover over the crimp bead and gently closing it for a seamless look.

To complete your jewellery, use a jump ring to attach the clasp. For added convenience, you can even secure the clasp during the first step by threading it onto the wire guardian alongside the crimp bead.

This technique ensures your beads are securely fastened while giving your jewellery a refined and professional appearance.
