Wire protectors, also known as wire guardians, are small, U-shaped components used in jewelry making to protect beading wire or thread from wear and tear at the point where it attaches to a clasp or other findings. Guiding the wire through the protector, it prevents fraying or breaking caused by friction, especially in pieces that are worn frequently. Wire protectors also create a neat and professional look by ensuring the wire sits securely and evenly within the design, extending the lifespan of the jewelry while maintaining its durability and aesthetic appeal.

Wire protectors are designed to protect wire against wear from clasps and other sharp-edged components. Similar to bullion or French wire with a rigid, pre-curved horseshoe shape to cradle and protect your bead cord from fraying. The inside hole diameter is 0.8mm. Due to the manufacturing process, sizes vary slightly.
