Create it with color beading wire

Soft Flex® Wire in colors: Using colored Soft Flex® Wire should not be intimidating. A color can really liven up an average, ordinary design. Soft Flex® Wire in colors has opened up a whole new world for designers as the wire itself can now be used as part of the design. A strand of colored Soft Flex® Wire does not drastically change the coloring of a bead. However, it does add and enhance. Don't be afraid to leave a little wire showing, much like the invisible necklaces, but with a nice color of Soft Flex® Wire! We offer a rainbow of 22+ colors. Click to see Soft Flex® Wire Colors

Trios™ Color Wire Variety Sets: Apply color theory to your next design. Create jewelry with color mixing in mind. We have made it easy to create with your heart instead of your head. Soft Flex® Trios™ coloer wire variety sets were designed to show the vivid palette of emotion. The chemistry of nature and the glamour of the fashion world have been encapsulated in our Trios™ sets. Each set is comprised of three 10 foot spools of .019/Medium diameter Soft Flex® Wire. The wire spools were created using the classic colors of gemstones and take their name from the stone they represent. Soft Flex® Company has been a leader and innovator for almost 20 years, Soft Flex® Trios™ reflect our passion for gemstones and our love of color. The purpose of Soft Flex® Company's Trios™ is to make it easy to design with a motif or gemstone in mind. Design with a bold stroke of emotion! Click to see Trios™ Color Wire Sets

Is there a clear Soft Flex® Wire? Soft Flex® Wire is made from marine-quality stainless steel; therefore, we are unable to produce a true Soft Flex® Wire that is clear. If you are looking to design an illusion necklace or are concerned about the wire showing through translucent stones, we do have solutions. Check out the many colors Soft Flex® is available in, perfect for complementing a stone, rather than being a distraction. If you want a neutral wire for an illusion necklace, try our steel-toned wire, it is a clear nylon coated wire that does not stand out, when you don’t want it to.

Designer Tip: When you expose your beading wire in a design, there is the added advantage of using less beads in your design. This tip is great for using up those multiple types of "onezie / twozie beads" that everyone seems to have laying around.
