Matubo™ Round 2/0 - N. 31 - Opaque Blue Travertin Dark Mat

Ancient glassmaking traditions from the heart of Northern Bohemia are infused into every bead, reflecting a heritage of artisan glass craftsmanship that has spanned centuries. These specific components represent the pinnacle of technical skill, where raw glass is transformed into uniform shapes that serve as the foundation for modern jewelry making supplies. The deep history of the Jablonec region ensures that each piece carries the weight of authentic Czech quality and artistic soul.

Precision-pressed Matubo beads in the impressive 2/0 round beads size offer a substantial presence in any design, bridging the gap between standard seed beads and larger focal elements. Their surface features a complex Travertine finish that mimics the organic weathering of ancient stone, giving the matte blue beads an oxidized, rustic appearance that feels both historic and timeless. Because they are pressed rather than cut, they maintain a perfectly smooth hole and consistent dimensions.

Integrating these large rounds into your work allows for architectural depth in complex bead weaving patterns. They function beautifully as structural anchors when you combine them with multi-hole components such as Matubo SuperDuo or the slightly smaller Matubo MiniDuo. Their rounded profile ensures they sit comfortably against the skin while providing a satisfying weight to necklaces and bracelets.

• Authentic Czech craftsmanship ensures high uniformity and durable finishes.
• Generous 2.1mm hole allows for multiple thread passes or thick cord stringing.
• Matte Travertine coating provides a unique, rustic aesthetic for boho styles.
• Eco-friendly glass material sourced from traditional regional suppliers.

Large hole beads like these are essential for designers who enjoy working with thicker materials like leather or heavy-duty S-lon FIRE thread. The wide diameter of the inner channel simplifies the stringing process, making them an excellent choice for macramé, crochet, or rustic wrap bracelets where texture is just as important as the color palette. This versatility makes them a staple for both advanced weavers and those just beginning their creative journey.

Combining these earthy blue tones with contrasting shades can yield breathtaking results. For a striking contrast that immediately draws the eye, pair them with orange hyacinth glass, or maintain a peaceful, harmonious aesthetic by using light aqua and aquamarine accents, perhaps adding a neutral accent of silver for a touch of modern sophistication.

Creative possibilities flourish when using these components to build statement pieces that celebrate the raw beauty of Bohemian glass. Whether you are constructing an intricate peyote stitch tapestry or a simple, elegant string of beads, the Opaque Blue Travertine finish provides a sophisticated, weathered look that elevates the finished piece into a work of wearable art. Every design becomes a tribute to the enduring legacy of the beadmaker's craft.
