Matubo™ Round 7/0 - N. 11 - Opaque Chocolate

Opaque Chocolate 13600 finish provides a dense, consistent saturation that serves as a robust foundation for intricate beadwork patterns. These Matubo™ Round 7/0 glass beads are engineered with a generous 1.6 mm hole, allowing for multiple thread passes through the bead without compromising structural integrity. This high tolerance is essential for professionals working on multi-row bracelets or complex 3D sculptural pieces where thread tension is paramount.

Czech glass craftsmanship ensures that each bead maintains a uniform shape, which is a significant advantage when compared to standard seed beads. The precise dimensions allow them to sit flush against other shapes, and they pair beautifully with Matubo SuperDuo or Matubo MiniDuo components to create seamless geometric transitions. Because they are pressed rather than cut, the edges are exceptionally smooth, protecting your thread from fraying during long sessions of peyote or brick stitch.

Rich, earthy tones like this chocolate brown offer a sophisticated alternative to basic black, adding warmth to autumn-themed palettes or vintage-inspired designs. Beautifully complements bronze finishes, or provides a striking contrast when paired with medium blue accents and gold findings. The glossy opaque surface reflects light subtly, ensuring your jewelry maintains a professional, high-end aesthetic regardless of the lighting conditions.

For best results, use S-lon thread (specifically S-lon D) with beading needles size 10-12 to navigate the large central channel efficiently. The 1.6 mm diameter is specifically designed to accommodate thicker cords or multiple strands of high-strength S-lon FIRE for heavy-duty projects. These technical specifications make them an ideal choice for the core of a Matubo GemDuo bezel or as spacers in more substantial necklace designs.

A standard 5 g package contains approximately 115 beads, providing ample material for a substantial section of a loom-woven project or several pairs of earrings. The consistency in size and color across different batches ensures that large-scale productions remain uniform and visually coherent. Incorporating these 3.5mm Czech glass beads into your inventory offers a versatile, reliable component that meets the rigorous standards of modern jewelry artisans.
