Matubo™ Round 7/0 - N. 45 - Aquamarine

Glassmaking in the Crystal Valley of Northern Bohemia has flourished for centuries, passing down secrets of heat and sand through generations of master artisans. This rich heritage is embodied in every Matubo™ Round 7/0 bead, merging traditional craftsmanship with modern precision to create jewelry components of unparalleled consistency. These particular pieces are Matubo beads made from Preciosa glass, ensuring that the raw material meets the highest standards of European quality and clarity.

Aquamarine hues radiate through every facet of these 3.5mm transparent glass beads, capturing the essence of the sea in jewelry form. The 7/0 size offers a versatile middle ground between traditional seed beads and larger accents, making them essential for detailed yet structural designs. Their glossy finish and high transparency allow light to pass through the glass, creating a luminous effect that enhances any handmade accessory.

Because of their uniquely large 1.6mm holes, these beads are perfect for multi-strand necklaces or projects requiring multiple thread passes through the bead. They integrate seamlessly into complex patterns and pairs beautifully with Matubo SuperDuo or Matubo MiniDuo for textured, three-dimensional beadweaving results. The oversized hole also makes them a favorite for macramé and leather wrap bracelets where thicker cords are utilized.

For a striking contrast, pair with warm peach or coral tones to evoke a sunset over the sea, or keep it monochromatic with medium blues and chalk white. Each 5 g package contains approximately 115 beads, though the count is approximate as the weight is the decisive measurement for every pack. This quantity is ideal for smaller accents or for testing new color palettes in your beading studio.

Contemporary designers continue to choose these Czech glass beads because they honor the history of the Jablonec region while providing the technical reliability needed for modern artistry. Whether used in delicate peyote stitch or bold loom work, these beads carry the soul of Bohemian glasswork into your unique jewelry creations. Their durability and precision pressing make them a staple for both professional artisans and hobbyists alike.
