MATUBO GEMDUO N. 501 - Tutti Frutti Cherry

Vibrant cherry red tones emerge from the long-standing tradition of Bohemian glassmaking, where the Jablonec region has perfected the art of the pressed bead. These Matubo SuperDuo beads siblings, the GemDuos, represent the modern evolution of this craft, combining age-old glass recipes with high-precision molding technology. The result is a consistent, diamond-shaped component that fits perfectly into contemporary designs.

• Diamond-shaped profile with a flat back for jewelry comfort
• Parallel dual holes for intricate bead weaving
• High-quality Matubo beads made from Preciosa glass
• Vibrant matte neon finish for statement pieces

Tutti Frutti Cherry shades offer a bold, electric energy that stands out in any beadwork project. Because of their unique geometric shape, they are ideal for creating circular motifs, star patterns, or textured bracelets. You can easily nestle Preciosa seed beads between the points of these diamond beads to create seamless transitions and delicate lace-like structures in your patterns.

For best results when working with these 2-hole gems, we recommend using S-lon thread, specifically the S-lon FIRE variant, which provides the abrasion resistance needed for the edges of pressed glass. Pair this with beading needles size 10-11 to ensure the needle and thread can make multiple passes through the 0.8 mm holes without stress. This combination ensures your woven jewelry remains durable and maintains its structural shape over time.

Whether you are a beginner exploring the world of two-hole beadwork or a master artisan, these Matubo beads provide the structural integrity required for complex 3D shapes. Their flat base allows them to sit flush against the skin in necklaces, while the faceted top adds an architectural dimension to your wearable art. Let the rich heritage of Czech glass artistry inspire your next vibrant creation.
