Matubo 3CUT 6/0 - N. 6 - Chalk Travertin Dark

Centuries of tradition in the heart of Northern Bohemia have perfected the art of glass manipulation, and these Matubo™ 3CUT 6/0 beads represent the modern evolution of that legacy. Unlike standard round seed beads, these feature three precision-cut surfaces that catch the light with an organic, stone-like quality. The unique manufacturing process ensures consistent sizing while maintaining the artisanal soul of traditional Czech glass beads, offering a tactile experience that mass-produced alternatives simply cannot replicate.

Chalky white tones meet deep, earthy mottling in this Travertine finish, creating a weathered aesthetic perfect for rustic or southwestern-inspired designs. Because of their generous 1.6 mm hole, these beads allow for multiple thread passes through the bead, making them a dream for complex structural work and multi-strand necklaces. They work beautifully when paired with Matubo SuperDuo beads to create textured, high-relief patterns in dimensional bead weaving and structural jewelry pieces.

For best results in your weaving projects, we recommend using S-lon thread, which provides the perfect balance of flexibility and strength for these 6/0 size elements. Using beading needles size 10-12 will ensure you can navigate the 3-cut facets comfortably without snagging. If you are constructing a piece that requires maximum durability, such as a heavy bracelet or a design subjected to high tension, choosing S-lon FIRE thread is the optimal choice to ensure your jewelry lasts for generations.

Earthy textures offer endless possibilities for the contemporary jewelry artist, from simple organic stringing to elaborate loom work. These beads provide a grounding contrast when used alongside Czech fire polished beads, adding a matte, stony dimension to your sparkling focal points. Whether you are building a 5 g pack containing approximately 70 beads into a delicate earring, the heritage of the Jablonec region shines through every bead.
