Bullion, French Wire and Gimp      Coiled from round (instead of flat) plated brass wire.    Each package contains approx. 1 meter (about 3 feet).

Do not tug or pull  it.      Bullion (or French wire) was originally used to finish silk bead  cord ends, primarily for knotted pearl necklaces. It attractively hides and  protects the end of the cord.
