I purchased this for jewelry making. The elastic cord in a multicolor elastic by #VGOODALL is nice and strong and perfect for making bracelets and anklets and made to hold up over time. Other elastic cords I've used has fallen apart but not this one. I'm very pleased and you get quite a bit for $12.99. I highly recommend this cord especially if you're making bracelets or anklets in your jewelry making. It's definitely a must have in your jewelry making arsenal.
