Bulk Red String Roll, 3mm x 17m

• The cord has a woven, lightly ridged surface, so it looks more tactile than a flat ribbon or chain.
• Its red tone brings warmth and confidence to jewellery projects, especially against silver-coloured charms, dark pendants or natural stones.
• The cotton feel keeps the finished piece comfortable where it touches the skin.
• Because it comes on a roll, you can cut each length to suit the piece you are making.
• It works well for necklaces, bracelets, accessories and decorative embellishments.

This is a cord roll rather than a ready-made necklace, so the fastening is part of your design. Use knots, cord ends, clasps or other jewellery findings according to the pendant and the finish you want.

For a minimal look, let one pendant sit on the red cord with little else around it. For something more layered, pair it with small beads or mixed textures, checking that every bead hole is wide enough before threading.

Red is often used in design to bring energy, warmth and focus. In cord jewellery, it makes even a simple pendant feel more intentional, especially when the charm has a personal meaning. Cord necklaces also have a long, relaxed place in surf, festival and minimalist styling: one length of textile, one object at the centre, and very little fuss around it.

Keep the roll dry and store it away from rough edges that could catch the fibres. Cut with sharp scissors for a cleaner end, and finish the ends with your chosen knot or finding to help keep the piece neat.
