| Hi Peter
The wire wrap is call "French wire" "bullion" or "gimp" It comes in various weights light, medium, and heavy. Depending on the thread, I apply glue. With soft flex wire, I use a crimp bead. In any case I cover the knot or bead with a "crimp cover"
When a crimp cover is squeezed together it looks like a silver (or gold) bead.
The finishing wire and crimp beads come in SS and gold plate.
