There are many useful tools and great products produced by Mat Salleh, which are hard to get locally. Beaders can always purchase the products from internet, but due to reasons like high shipping charges, custom tax or trustworthiness, beaders may give up. Let us do it for you!
We have imported some wellknown products from USA, namely: Artistic Wire & Beadsmith. We will definitely bring in more other products from company like Beadalon, Softflex, Wigjig, Griffin etc… from time to time.
If you have any particular products that you are looking for, do drop me an email to inquire about price and delivery lead time. Alright, let’s see what we have in our catalog now.
Artistic Wire – 9 colors available: Non-tarnish Silver, Non-tarnish Brass, Silver-Plated Rose, Bare Copper, Black, Brown, Gun Metal, Natural Copper and Tinned Copper. Available size are 18 gauge, 20 gauge, 22 gauge, 24 gauge and 26 gauge. For the moment we are concentrating in promoting artistic wire in dispenser pack. Loose spool that cost cheaper will be available in future.
Does the following scenario look familiar to you? 
I don’t have to explain the function of a dispenser pack, pictures speak a thousand words.
Oh ya, please recycle the empty dispenser pack. It can fit in 22, 24 and 26 gauge loose spool wire (not for 18 and 20 Gauge due to larger spool size). It costs us almost RM1 to purchase the empty pack from our supplier. If possible, we would like to purchase the empty pack from you at RM0.50 each. Deal or not?
Wire Protectors, a.k.a Wire Guardian – to protect stringing materials from undue wear by reducing abrasion from clasp and other sharp-edged components. Available in Silver-plated, Copper-plated and Gold-plated.
Twisted Wire Needle – Flexible Twisted Beading Needles are especially helpful when thread has to be passed through beads more than once (and a straight needle just won’t fit). Their large eyes make them very easy to thread but once passed through a bead hole they collapse and help hold the thread more firmly.
Crimp Bead Cover – to conceal crimped Crimp Beads/Tubes and knots, professionally finish off your design.
Beadsmith 5-step mandrel set – 1.5mm-5mm & 6mm-10mm
Beaders & wire artists alike will love this tool for its ability to create consistently sized loops, circles & coils in wire. Made from stainless steel with a PVC grip, the smooth surface will not mar wire.
Beadsmith 4 piece Bead Reamer Set – This excellent set has diamond tipped reamers for use on glass, ceramic or stone beads. There are tips for opening and enlarging bead holes, and also for softening rough edges to prevent them cutting into threads. This set consists of a wooden handle with a set of four tips which fit into the handle rather like drill bits. Perfect for Jewellery making, Crafts and Beading/Bead work etc…
Easy Ear Wire – make your own ear wires in seconds. This product is only available by pre-order due to high cost.
Market Price: USD 24.95 (~ RM91.00) not including shipping charges around USD5.00.
Our Price: USD24.95 x 3.66 = RM91.30 – let us remove the shipping charges (from USA to MY), custom tax etc… for you!
Note: Price subject to change due to currency fluctuation, current rate take 1 USD = RM3.66. Standard delivery charges apply, i.e: RM 5 for W.M and RM7.50 for E.M
Sample ear wires made with 20 Gauge artistic wire – non-tarnish brass and non-tarnish silver. These ear wires are available for sale (still in the progress) if you do not wish to spend so much money on the Easy Ear Wire Tool.
EZ Earring II – to make french hoop style ear wire. This product is only available by pre-order due to high cost.
Market Price: USD 19.95 (~ RM73.00) not including shipping charges around USD5.00.

The hoops that are made with Artistic Wire version are available for sale (still in the progress) if you do not wish to spend so much money on the EZ Earring II.
Beadalon Beginner Thing-A-Ma-Jig – an economy jig that looks similar with our 2 in 1 Wire Writer and Jig System. This product is only available for sale on 2nd Quarter may be.
Have you heard of professional jig called WigJig? I’m considering to bring in this expensive jig… what do you think?
how expensive are u talking about? :p
Hihi! Would like to know how to make pre-order for the “easy ear wire”? Wigjig is really expensive, every single little part count the price. I always want to have one, but it is too expensive to purchase it online due to the shipping and custom tax……. In adition, it will be nice, if you can bring in more beading tools, like crimping pliers and nylon jaw pliers.
Thank you and all the best for the business!
@Arfah: Visit Wigjig website, take their retail price x current USD to RM conversion rate = our Pre-Order Selling price.
Pre-Order means when we are about to place an order to our supplier, we will collect full payment from you.
@Hooi Ling: Just inform me what is the product you are interested with, then I will advise you the price when we are about to place order with our supplier. If you agree with the price, then I will collect full payment (additional RM5 for delivery service, waived for self collect) from you.
We did sell crimping pliers and nylon jaw pliers, but has been out of stock for quite some time. Will be restocked somewhere between 7th – 14th March.
the dispenser of artistic wire can be refill by the loose spool?
@Joan: Thanks for your feedback, I have updated the post. See the description below the dispenser pack picture.
Looks great..!! Interested in the Mandrel set & wires.
Thanks for your prompt response, Steve. I want to place order for the “Easy Ear Wire” (the USD24.95 one), please add me to your list ya. Thank you very much.
Hi!
Great website. If you would you like to be able to offer Soft Flex beading wire on your website, I would be happy to set up an account for you.
Best regards,
Shelley
@Eva: Thanks for your support! Artistic Wire is great!
@Hooi Ling: Alright, added your name to the list, thanks
Did you say that you have the easy ear wires (as in the picture above made from the easy ear wire tool) available? I can only find the simple ear wires on your site (which I bought 50 pairs of).
As for the tools, yes, am waiting for the nylon jaw pliers. Also, would your shop be interested to bring in the magical crimping tool (which will make the crimps look like 2mm beads)?
Cheers!
Oh yes, one more thing. You do not have any silver colour/plated 3mm spacer beads? The site only shows rose gold plated ones (and on sale too).
@Frances: Still in the process of making easy ear wires using artistic wire.
Thanks for your info about the Magical Cimping Tools, this is first time I ever heard of this tool… will google it out later.
Oops sorry, the silver plated beads is not available currently.
hi Steve,
I’m also interested in the magical crimping tool. Here’s a tutorial video of a lady making a bracelet. she used the magical crimping tool!
She used it when she was attaching the toggle (8th minute of video).

Hi! I really like what you showed here! I’ve been wanting to buy a wig jig, when will beading.com.my start selling that again? ALso, I have bought some nymo threads from eBay (UK merchant), and it makes beading with seed beads so, so, so much easier. I hope you will consider selling this in your shop, so that I don’t have to pay in British pounds.
@Valen: You may take a look at our Nymo Thread description here:http://beading.com.my/blog/new-products-updated-mat-sallehs-favorite-products-ii/
