Jade Thread

Jade thread is the go-to stringing cord for knotted bracelet styles — strong, thin, slightly waxy, and available in colors that either disappear into the design or become part of it. This collection carries jade thread spools in the sizes bracelet makers use for adjustable slide-knot closures, macramé-style designs, and hand-knotted stone and heishi pieces. The slight wax coating holds knots firmly, which is what keeps adjustable bracelets adjustable instead of slipping loose.

Cord failure is the most common return reason in handmade bracelets, so thread quality is worth as much attention as bead quality. Every spool here is selected for tensile strength and consistent diameter, so your knots seat the same way across an entire production run. Buy your workhorse colors by the spool at wholesale, and keep a neutral and a black on hand — between them they finish the majority of custom orders.
