Matubo™ Round 8/0 - N. 17 - Opaque Violet Travertin Dark

Searching for that perfect organic texture for your next jewelry project often leads to the discovery of the travertine finish, which expertly mimics the look of natural stone. These Matubo™ Round 8/0 beads provide a rustic, sophisticated aesthetic that elevates standard beadwork into wearable art. Made from high-quality Czech glass, they feature a generous hole size that accommodates multiple thread passes through the bead, making them a favorite for structural designs. Many designers find these beads are the ideal companion for leaf-themed patterns when combined with Matubo Ginko beads.

Dusky violet tones blended with earthy, yellowish mineral deposits create a versatile palette that works beautifully for both bohemian and high-fashion accessories. This specific opaque violet travertine finish pairs exceptionally well with contrasting yellow topaz accents, though it also harmonizes beautifully with fuchsia or silver for a more modern flair. A standard 5 g package contains approximately 150 beads, providing plenty of material for several accents or a delicate bracelet. For added sparkle in your seed bead patterns, try integrating small Czech fire polished beads to break up the matte texture.

Precision-molded surfaces ensure that every bead maintains a consistent shape, which is a major benefit for techniques like peyote, brick stitch, or loom weaving where uniformity is critical. For the best results in your weaving projects, we recommend using a classic Nymo thread paired with beading needles size 10-12. If you are working on a more demanding project that requires extra durability, choose S-lon FIRE thread to ensure your creation stands the test of time without sacrificing the flexibility of the beadwork.
