Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. I am going to make a nice gemstone and silver necklace with a large pendant on it. It will be fairly heavy, so I need to use a strong beading thread or wire. There are so many to choose from, and I want to use a strong, yet flexible item. What should I use?
2. I'd like to make a bracelet to match my necklace, but I'll be using only a few beads so it won't be as heavy. I'd also like to make it without a clasp. I don't want a bangle bracelet or something stiff and unyielding. I'd like a nice, flexible bracelet. What item would I use?
3. I have a friend who would like a chunky American Indian style necklace, but is sensitive to metals. I need a strong cord that would go well with this style, and still be fashionable. What would you suggest I use?
4. If I were going to make an elegant pearl necklace with the thread knotted between each pearl, what would be a proper thread for me to use?
5. This next type of thread or cord is good for a few different types of projects depending on what size thread or cord you use. The smallest (Size 00) can be used for beading projects, especially with a loom. It is perfect for projects where you pass the thread or cord through the same beads several times. What is it called?
6. This next cord comes in three different weights, and makes an elegant necklace with a simple pendant hanging from it. It comes in many different colors. Bugtail is the lightest weight, Mousetail is the medium weight, and Rattail is the thickest.
7. I need to make some jewelry loops for a pair of chandelier earrings, but I'm out of eyepins. What else could I use?
8. This wire is surgical steel, and comes pre-coiled in different sizes for necklaces or bracelets. You can use a single loop or multiple loops for your designs.
9. This thread is incredibly strong for its thickness. However, don't let that fool you into making a large, chunky necklace with it. This thread can break if you put too much weight on it. This is not a good knotting thread.
10. This is a super strong cord. It is 10 times stronger than steel (which is a good thing to know, considering jewelry making is not its primary use!).
