Matubo™ Round 7/0 - N. 32 - Smoke Grey Mat

Smoke grey matte finish distinguishes these Matubo™ Round 7/0 beads, offering a sophisticated, tactile surface that reduces glare in complex jewelry designs. Measuring 3.5 mm with a generous 1.6 mm hole, these beads provide exceptional tolerances for designers who require multiple thread passes through the bead without the risk of structural stress. The consistent sizing and smooth edges ensure that whether you are working in flat peyote or circular brick stitch, the stacking behavior remains uniform and predictable across the entire surface of the project.

High-quality Czech glass serves as the foundation for this production, ensuring the durability that professional beaders expect for heirloom-quality pieces. These versatile rounds are engineered to integrate seamlessly into multi-layered projects, where they pair beautifully with Matubo SuperDuo or the smaller Matubo MiniDuo to create varied textures. The frosted, soft-touch surface of the smoke grey color provides a contemporary alternative to traditional high-shine coatings, making them a staple for modern, organic aesthetic palettes.

Incorporating a neutral, muted grey into your beadwork opens up a vast array of sophisticated color schemes for both jewelry and embroidery. For a striking contrast, pair with vibrant siam red, or create a harmonious, monochromatic look by blending these with metallic silver beads. Beautifully complements warm tones as well, acting as a sophisticated neutral accent when used alongside polished gold components in bridal or evening wear designs.

For best results in your weaving and stringing projects, we recommend using S-lon thread (specifically S-lon D for general use) along with beading needles size 10-12. A standard 5 g package contains approximately 115 beads, though this count is approximate as the weight is the decisive measurement. The 1.6 mm hole diameter comfortably accommodates the total diameter of a needle plus multiple passes of S-lon FIRE for maximum strength requirements in structural beadwork.
