Frequently Asked Questions

How do sliders and beads attach to round leather cord?Sliders and beads have a central bore that the round leather cord threads through. No adhesive is needed — the bead sits on the cord and can be positioned anywhere along its length. Beads are held in place by the tension of the design or by knots on either side.

How do I choose the right bead bore size for my round leather cord?
The inner bore of the bead must be slightly larger than the outer diameter of your cord to allow it to thread through cleanly, but not so large that the bead slides uncontrollably. For a 3mm cord, look for beads with a 3mm–4mm bore. Check the inner size listed on each product page. If unsure, contact us with your cord diameter and we will advise.

What are Beads with Loops used for?
Beads with Loops have an integrated loop or bail attached to the bead body. They thread onto the round leather cord like a standard bead but allow you to attach a charm, pendant, or extension chain via the loop. They are especially popular for pendant necklaces. Browse our findings and charms range for compatible pendants.

Can I mix round leather beads with gemstone beads on the same cord?
Yes — mixing metal beads from this range with natural gemstone beads is one of the most popular techniques for premium round leather cord necklaces. Ensure the gemstone bead hole is large enough for your cord diameter before ordering.

What is the difference between stainless steel and zamak beads?
Stainless steel beads are heavier, tarnish-free, and suited to everyday-wear jewellery. Zamak beads offer a broader range of decorative styles and finishes at a lower price point and are ideal for fashion jewellery. Many zamak items are sold by weight (€12.50 per 100g) rather than per piece — check each product page for approximate piece counts per 100g.

Can I use round leather sliders and beads on braided leather cord?
Yes. Round braided leather cord shares a similar cross-section to standard round cord and works with most beads in this range. Size up the bore slightly to allow for the extra bulk of the braid.

Do you ship internationally?
Yes. We ship to 55+ countries. See our shipping page for delivery times and rates.
