Matubo™ Round 8/0 - N. 148 - Aqua Mat Bronze Lined

Steeped in the rich tradition of Northern Bohemia, these glass treasures represent centuries of craftsmanship. The Jablonec region has long been the heart of European beadmaking, where secret techniques for cooling and finishing glass have been passed down through generations. These Matubo™ Round 8/0 beads are a modern continuation of this legacy, combining old-world artistry with the precision required for contemporary jewelry design and professional beadweaving.

The frosted, velvety surface of the aqua exterior provides a sophisticated contrast to the gleaming metallic core. Because of their generous 1.2 mm hole, these beads allow for multiple thread passes through the bead, making them a favorite for intricate techniques like the peyote stitch or complex 3D structures. For these demanding projects, we recommend using S-lon thread and beading needles size 10-12 to ensure durability and ease of movement during the crafting process.

• Uniform shape for precise beadwork and structured patterns.
• Durable bronze lining that adds depth and a warm glow.
• Extra-large hole suitable for thick cords or multiple thread passes.
• Authentic Czech glass manufactured by the renowned Matubo.

Designing with these rounds offers endless possibilities for structure and texture. Matubo SuperDuo beads are specifically designed to nestle perfectly against these 8/0 rounds, creating seamless transitions in circular or architectural jewelry pieces. For a striking contrast, pair with vibrant turquoise or deep jet black to let the inner bronze glow truly pop against the matte aqua finish.

Whether you are crafting a vintage-inspired cuff or a modern minimalist necklace, the consistency of these beads ensures a professional finish every time. Each 5 g package contains approximately 150 beads, providing ample material for accenting Matubo MiniDuo beads in structured jewelry. The timeless combination of soft water tones and ancient metals allows every maker to weave their own story into a unique piece of wearable glass art.
