"The first order was an error in my order of a range of products to make an Artbeads necklace from the learning centre. However I was very impressed with this Zamba product and that is why I have reordered it now I am running low on the original spool."

So far, so . . . GREAT!
Date:December 9, 2012
Pros: Price, Unique, Ease of Use, Quality
"I've only made 3 projects with this jewelry wire (fresh water pearl strings) and they all move with ease. I just bought 4mm rice pears and although .014 wire was on the materials list for a project made with them, it also had items that are larger than 4mm, I'm presuming the .019 wire will accept a range of drilled hole sizes. Since I wasn't able to find a review that talked about this aspect of the ZambaPro .019 jewelry wire, when my 4mm pearls arrive, if the .019 wire works with them, I'll be sure to update this review to let you all know. So far, so good (GREAT!)! Lovely moveability :)"

Pros: Versatile, Ease of Use, Quality
Other beading styles or techniques: I add minor wire work
Creation: use in all bracelets, necklaces
"I love this wire! This size fits most every bead, it is strong, flexible, fits most every bead and does not kink. Great for working off the wire roll.
I really like the packaging - the flexible back allows you to pop it open, pull out what you need and pop it back to hold it fairly secure. I like that you don't have to completely take any part of the packaging off and then try to get back on, just flips back and forth."

Pros: Size, Price, Versatile, Ease of Use, Quality
Cons: Color
"Seems to be a very nice quality beading wire. It is very flexible for 49/.19 wire. Love the conatiner. Wish it was a little lighter in color. It really shows through on some beads. As for durability....I haven't used it long enough to comment. If any of my pieces come back to me broken.....I'll let you know!"

"This wire is really soft and flexible but my favorite thing about it is the package. I love the way it flips open to use the string and then closed to keep it from unravelling all over...very innovative design!"

Pros: Versatile, Ease of Use, Quality
Other beading styles or techniques: seed bead work
Creation: A complex asymmetrical, black & white necklace
"This is the first time I've used ZambaPro and must say I am very impressed. It has a much softer feel than other brands that I've tried (and I think I've just about tried them all). I love its flexibility and the fact that it did not break or pull out of the crimp bead even on one of my heavier necklaces. I used this product on one side of an asymmetrical, black & white necklace, the other side was wire link work so most of the necklace weight was on the beading cable wire, ZambaPro held the weight beautifully.
ZambaPro's self-sealing, bobbin-like container is an added plus. Though it is a bit more pricey than some other brands I think over all it is a better product and I will continue to use it."

Great Jewelry Wire for a Bracelet Design
Date:March 8, 2011
Pros: Versatile, Ease of Use, Quality, flexible
Creation: Sonoma Bracelet for which the directions are in the Learning Center
"This jewelry wire is very easy to work with as it's pliable and soft yet strong. I used it for my first bracelet and was delighted with its ease of use as I strung the beads onto it after attaching it to one end of the toggle and crimping it and adding a cover to the crimp tube. I highly recommend using this wire for designs not requiring a heavier wire. It was perfect for the Sonoma Bracelet I made which is found in the Learning Center."

Very Nice for bracelet
Date:January 13, 2011
Pros: Price, Quality, Versatile
Cons: Color
"I used this to bead a Swarovski crystal and Sterling Silver bracelet. It is strong and flexible. The only thing that I don't like is that the color is not clear like the description says. The color is a dark gray, like shown on the picture, not clear as printed on the pacakaging. When you use the light Swarovski crystal, you can see the gray wire through the beads. The product still produce a beautiful bracelet!"

Pros: Price
Cons: Quality
"Seems to be a nice stainless wire - simple, strong and soft.
However it has a distinct bend memory and the nylon coating is quite thin.
Somehow this is thinner than my regular .019 beading wire.
Doubt this would stand up to heavy use - as in a bracelet or with rough gemstone beads."

Date:December 22, 2010
Pros: Quality, Versatile, Ease of Use, flexible; nice "drape"
Cons: Size, not good with "smaller" beads
Other beading styles or techniques: I'll "play with" about anything that looks interesting
Creation: Bracelets
"I generally use .012 or .014 wire, so the sample wire is a lot larger than I prefer, but I tried it, of course. I very much like the look, feel and "drape." Would love to see it in a smaller size. (Yes, I know, a smaller size would probably mean fewer strands, so it wouldn't be as nice and flexible. One can hope though....)"

"and was quite curious to see how it compared to the wire I was using. I tried it, making an item I normally used my other wire on - and this was SUPERB!! I've given up the other brand...and am exclusively using this...in the .019 and .024!!
The package is the NEATEST, too!!"

"This is by far the best wire I have used. I love how my jewelry drapes when using this wire! Just be sure when finishing your piece that you don't crimp too tight and your necklaces and bracelets will be very soft and drapeable (if that is a word)! The packaging...FABULOUS!"
