Matubo™ Round 2/0 - N. 73 - Ionic Jet/Green

Dark, mysterious textures come to life in these striking beads that look as if they were forged in an emerald fire. Imagine a statement necklace or a bold boho bracelet where the deep black core is electrified by a vivid green crackle pattern, reminiscent of ancient moss growing on volcanic rock. These large beads provide an instant focal point, allowing you to create high-impact jewelry with a natural, organic edge that feels both modern and primitive.

Large 2/0 beads offer a substantial presence in any design, measuring 6.2mm with an exceptionally wide 2.1mm hole. This generous opening makes them perfect for cord-based designs or thick leather stringing, and they are a dream to use when you need multiple thread passes through the bead for complex structures. The unique Ionic finish creates a web-like emerald effect over the jet black glass, ensuring no two beads look exactly the same.

These versatile components work beautifully as spacers or weight-bearing elements in designs that incorporate smaller Matubo SuperDuo shapes. Because of their precision-manufactured shape, they sit perfectly side-by-side in kumihimo or macramé projects without catching. You might also find that they provide a sturdy foundation when paired with the smaller Matubo MiniDuo for a varied textured surface.

Deep forest greens and rich blacks offer a sophisticated palette that pairs beautifully with metallic accents like old gold or copper. For a striking contrast, pair with jet black for a subtle, tonal texture or siam red for a bold accent. These beads are ideal for chunky earrings, centerpiece accents in bead embroidery, or as high-quality spacers in rustic men's jewelry designs.
