Design your own stunning jewelry with this revolutionary knitted wire jewelry chain! Copper Hollow Mesh is made by machine-knitting 32-gauge, non-tarnish bright copper wire into a tubular wire mesh. The result is a 5mm hollow knitted wire tube that can be filled with any material between 3-4mm found in your beading drawer.
Hollow Mesh is durable once it’s filled with wire or beads and can be cut to any length without fraying. Pair the chain with our 6mm Hollow Mesh Cord Ends for a flawless finish on bracelets, earrings, necklaces and more. Simply string the Hollow Mesh over your choice of leather cord, wire, or beads, then slide the 6mm cord end over the Hollow Mesh to cover the raw edges professionally. Hollow Mesh is packaged as a 3ft (0.91m) spool.
