Matubo™ Round 7/0 - N. 17 - Opal Violet

The centuries-old tradition of Czech glassmaking comes to life in these Matubo™ Round 7/0 beads, meticulously crafted in the heart of the Jablonec region. This historic center of artistry has perfected the technique of creating Czech glass beads with exceptional color depth and uniform consistency. By choosing these elements for your work, you are continuing a legacy of craftsmanship that has defined European jewelry for generations.

Featuring a generous 1.6 mm hole, these beads are a versatile alternative to traditional seed beads and pair beautifully with Matubo SuperDuo for multi-dimensional designs. The unique pressing technology ensures smooth edges, which is essential when integrating them with Matubo MiniDuo in intricate patterns. A standard 5 g package contains approximately 115 beads, providing ample material for several small projects or significant accents in jewelry making supplies.

• Perfectly calibrated 3.5 mm glass beads for professional-grade results
• Large hole size allows for multiple thread passes in complex weaving
• Subtle Opal Violet finish with a soft, ethereal glow
• Durable material resistant to fading for evergreen designs

For best results during your creative process, we recommend using S-lon thread (specifically S-lon D) along with beading needles size 10-12. The wide opening is particularly forgiving for beginners, making it easy to navigate even when the design requires passing the needle through the bead multiple times. These large hole seed beads are excellent for learning bead weaving materials techniques like peyote or brick stitch.

Amethyst purple tones offer a dreamy, romantic aesthetic that is highly sought after in modern Bohemian designs. For a striking contrast, pair these violet seed beads with gold accents, or keep the look harmonious by blending with dark sapphire shades. The delicate Opal Violet luster brings a touch of vintage elegance to necklaces, bracelets, and earring sets alike.
