Matubo™ Round 8/0 - N. 111 - Jet Hematite

Dark, metallic aesthetics are dominating current jewelry trends, making these Jet Hematite beads a staple for the modern designer. The deep, reflective metallic black finish captures light with a sophisticated sheen, perfect for creating jewelry making pieces that transition seamlessly from day to evening wear. This specific finish provides a gunmetal-like appearance that adds a touch of industrial elegance to any beaded project.

Traditional bead weaving techniques like peyote or brick stitch benefit greatly from the superior uniformity of Matubo Round 8/0 glass beads. Because they are manufactured with precision, they provide a smoother surface than standard seed beads, allowing them to sit perfectly alongside Matubo Ginko beads in complex organic or geometric layouts. Their slightly flattened profile compared to traditional rocailles ensures a more structured and professional finish for your wearable art.

• Exceptional consistency in size and shape for professional results.
• Large 1.2 mm hole diameter accommodating multiple thread passes.
• Durable Jet Hematite finish that resists wear and maintains its luster.
• Authentic Czech glass quality from the renowned Matubo workshop.

High-contrast designs often pair this gunmetal tone with vibrant accents to make a bold statement. For a striking contrast, pair with siam red or use dark bronze for a rich, antique-inspired palette, or perhaps integrate Czech fire polished beads to add extra depth and texture to your woven necklaces or bracelets. The Jet Hematite shade is remarkably versatile, acting as a neutral foundation that enhances the brilliance of surrounding colors.

Achieving structural integrity is paramount when working with these Czech glass beads in demanding patterns. For best results, use S-lon thread with beading needles size 10-12, as the generous hole size easily allows for the multiple thread passes through the bead required in intricate weaving. Each 5 g package contains approximately 150 beads, providing ample material for substantial components or several delicate accents.
