Polyester cord

Polyester thread is made of synthetic polymers, which have strong molecular bonds. This structural strength ensures that Polyester Cord can withstand everyday wear and tear. Therefore, polyester cord is also the perfect choice for you, for example if you want to make durable bracelets that can be used daily without having to worry about the bracelet wearing out quickly.

The sun's UV rays can be harsh on the body, but also on your jewelry materials. We all know it, that situation where you have bought some jewelry thread or some beads that over time lose their beautiful color and shine. You avoid this with jewelry made of polyester cord, which naturally has some UV-resistant properties that keep the bracelet's colors and shine for a long time.

When you wear jewelry daily, you also know that it wears down. This happens when you tidy up and the jewelry materials get bumped against the wall, table, vacuum cleaner. The jewelry often comes into contact with other surfaces, whether it is clothing, accessories, or skin. The constant friction can break down many types of threads.

You avoid this wear with polyester cord, which is generally much more resistant to everyday wear.

When working with fabric and thread, there is a chance of mold and rot, as the material is organic and therefore susceptible to the aforementioned if exposed to moisture.

Polyester is what is called hydrophobic, which means it repels water. This quality minimizes the chances of moisture being trapped inside the thread, reducing the risk of mold growth or rot. For humid climates or situations where jewelry may be exposed to moisture, this is an invaluable feature.

Elasticity in the thread can often be beneficial, especially when making jewelry that requires flexibility. Polyester's light stretch ensures comfort, while the excellent recovery of the thread's structure means that the jewelry retains its shape without sagging or becoming misshapen.

Polyester is synthetically produced, which also means that polyester cord can be produced in a wide range of colors through efficient dyeing processes. This broad color spectrum offers countless possibilities to find the perfect shade for your designs. Additionally, polyester cord retains its color very well, ensuring that jewelry remains colorful and beautiful.

Uniformity in thread thickness is often crucial for precise jewelry designs. Just like with uneven pearls or other jewelry materials, an uneven thread can result in imperfect pearlwork or patterns in your jewelry. Polyester thread production today is consistent, meaning the cord is produced completely uniform in thickness and color, which is essential to give your jewelry a professional and consistent appearance.

With polyester cord you get many of the benefits of high-end jewelry thread, just at a more affordable price. This cost-effectiveness allows you to produce quality jewelry without the high material costs that you might otherwise experience with, for example, Silk Cord.

Knotting is a common technique in jewelry making, especially with beadwork and macramé. Polyester cord, with its smooth surface, is easier to work with when it comes to knotting. Once the first knot in your knotted bracelet is tied, the knots remain secure. This ensures the jewelry retains its beautiful knotted pattern.

With increasing environmental concerns, recycled polyester threads are becoming more popular. The same applies to some of our range, where from time to time we have polyester cord produced using recycled polyester material. Here you will find that the jewelry thread is just as strong and durable as non-recycled polyester, as the material and properties remain the same.
