Matubo™ SEED 10/0 - N. 236 - Jet Full Chrom

Dark, intense, and mirroring the surface of polished obsidian, these beads bring a sophisticated edge to any jewelry design. The Jet Full Chrom finish offers a deep, metallic luster that shifts between charcoal black and liquid silver, making it a versatile staple for modern, high-contrast patterns. These Matubo™ Seed Beads 10/0 are essential for creators looking to add depth and a professional, industrial-chic glow to their handmade collections.

Precision-made in the Czech Republic, these beads represent the pinnacle of Czech glass engineering. Unlike standard seed beads, the Matubo™ manufacturing process ensures a high degree of uniformity in both size and shape, which is crucial for intricate beadweaving. The smooth surface and consistent 2.1 mm diameter allow for perfectly aligned rows in even the most complex geometric patterns.

Integrating these precisely shaped components into structured jewelry designs is effortless when you combine them with Matubo MiniDuo beads. The metallic finish of the 10/0 seeds acts as a sharp highlight between the larger multi-hole shapes, creating a seamless transition and reinforcing the overall structural integrity of the piece.

• Exceptional shape uniformity for professional weaving
• Generous 0.9 mm hole allows for multiple thread passes
• Deep metallic Jet Full Chrom finish with high durability
• Ideal for peyote stitch, loom work, and bead embroidery

Masterful jewelry makers appreciate how these glass beads interact with light, providing a subtle shimmer rather than an overwhelming sparkle. Whether used as a base color or an accent, they provide a luxury feel that elevates simple stringing projects into wearable art. A 5 g package contains approximately 460 beads, providing ample material for detailed borders or several small accents.

The sleek profile of these seeds makes them an ideal fill in Matubo GemDuo beads patterns where precision is paramount. For a striking contrast, pair with siam red beads to create a bold statement, or keep it sophisticated by beautifully complementing them with dark grey or graphite tones. For a touch of luxury, a gold neutral accent works wonderfully against this dark chrome surface.

For best results in demanding techniques, use S-lon thread or S-lon FIRE with beading needles size 10-12. This combination ensures that the needle and thread can undergo multiple thread passes through the bead without friction, which is vital for maintaining the strength of your woven bracelets and necklaces.
