MATUBO GEMDUO N. 485 - Tanzanite

Tired of inconsistent shapes ruining the alignment of your geometric patterns? These Matubo GemDuo beads feature a unique diamond shape and a flat back, ensuring they sit perfectly flush against the skin or your beading foundation. Unlike standard seed beads, their precise 8x5mm dimensions allow for seamless tessellation in advanced jewelry making projects, saving you time and frustration during the assembly of complex motifs.

• Uniform 8x5mm diamond shape for professional-grade results.
• Dual 0.8 mm holes for stable, multi-directional thread paths.
• High-quality glass construction for lasting durability and clarity.
• Versatile tanzanite purple shade that mimics precious gemstones.

Amethyst purple tones provide a sophisticated depth that beautifully complements peridot green for a striking contrast, or you can pair them with jet black for a modern, neutral accent. Because these are Matubo beads made from Preciosa glass, you can effortlessly integrate Preciosa seed beads as dainty connecting elements to fill structural gaps. This specific tanzanite hue creates a regal aesthetic when woven alongside waxed pearl beads in delicate floral-inspired earrings.

For best results with these 2-hole components, use S-lon thread—specifically the FIRE variant for its superior abrasion resistance—along with beading needles size 10-11. The generous 0.8 mm hole diameter is specifically designed to accommodate multiple thread passes through the bead, which is essential for reinforcing the structural integrity of bracelets and necklaces. These Czech glass beads offer the perfect balance of weight and elegance for any designer looking to elevate their bead weaving repertoire.
