Matubo™ Round 6/0 - N. 137 - Chrysolite Nebula

Deep within the Jablonec region of the Czech Republic, the tradition of artisanal glassmaking has flourished for centuries, giving birth to the world-renowned Matubo™ Round 6/0 beads. These precision-pressed elements represent the pinnacle of Bohemian craftsmanship, where ancient techniques meet modern innovation. The unique Chrysolite Nebula finish captures a celestial glow, blending earthy greens with a shimmering metallic iridescence that evokes the mystery of distant galaxies.

The generous 1.6 mm hole diameter makes these large hole beads an exceptional choice for intricate beadwork where multiple thread passes through the bead are required. For designers seeking movement and dimension, these rounds work perfectly as structural components when paired with Preciosa Drop beads to create fluid, dangling accents on necklaces or statement earrings. Each 10 g package contains approximately 140 beads, though the weight is the decisive measurement for every pack.

Jewelry makers often utilize these Czech glass beads in techniques like Kumihimo braiding, macrame, or chunky bead weaving due to their uniform shape and consistent sizing. For best results in your weaving projects, we recommend using Nymo thread with beading needles size 10-12 to ensure smooth transitions and professional-grade durability. This specific 6/0 size provides a bold texture that stands out in both contemporary and vintage-inspired designs.

Chrysolite green tones offer a versatile palette that harmonizes beautifully with turquoise accents, or you can create a striking contrast by pairing them with soft rose pink elements for a modern floral look. To add a layer of sophisticated sparkle to your seed bead patterns, consider incorporating Preciosa Bicone beads as light-catching focal points. Whether you are crafting a detailed tapestry or a simple strand of beads, the heritage and quality of Matubo beads ensure a masterpiece that lasts a lifetime.
