GRIFFIN 100% natural silk bead cord originates from the high-quality centre (filament silk) of the silk cocoon thread and is twisted three times to create a sleek thread with the characteristic lustre only found in pure natural silk. This carded silk is a traditional choice for necklaces made of gems and pearls due to its superb drape and its ability to be knotted to protect the precious surfaces of the beads. It has been on the market since 1866. Each card contains 2 metres of thread plus a needle.
