Matubo Miniduo N. 353 - Chalk Orange Glaze

Centuries of artisan glassmaking in the Bohemian valley have perfected the recipe for high-quality components used by jewelry designers worldwide. The tradition of pressing glass in this region ensures that every Matubo™ MiniDuo bead carries a legacy of craftsmanship, combining ancient techniques with modern precision. These small, two-hole components are the foundation of contemporary bead weaving, allowing for structural integrity in every stitch.

A refined variation of the classic diamond shape, the 2x4 mm profile offers a delicate touch to complex designs. Because they are pressed glass rather than cut, the edges are smooth and the two-hole alignment is remarkably consistent. This consistency is vital for maintaining the tension and symmetry required in professional-grade jewelry making projects.

Precision-pressed glass ensures that every bead fits perfectly against the next, making them a favorite for both beginners and experienced makers. The dual-hole system allows for unique 3D shapes and curves that are impossible to achieve with standard single-hole seed beads. Whether you are creating a simple woven band or an intricate sculptural pendant, these beads provide the necessary versatility for any creative vision.

• Consistent 0.8 mm holes for multiple thread passes through the bead.
• Durable Czech glass material with a premium glazed finish.
• Compact 2x4 mm size ideal for detailed or miniature patterns.
• Perfectly compatible with other multi-hole bead systems.

Many artists find that these small elements are essential for filling gaps in geometric patterns where Matubo GemDuo beads act as larger focal points, ensuring a seamless and professional transition between shapes. The smaller footprint of the MiniDuo allows for tighter curves and more intricate details in your handmade accessories.

The unique Chalk Orange Glaze finish provides an earthy, organic look that beautifully captures the light with its glossy surface. This specific shade is reminiscent of orange hyacinth, offering a warm and vibrant energy to any color palette. For a striking contrast, pair with dark sapphire components, or beautifully complements a warm aesthetic when combined with siam red tones and neutral crystal accents.

Finishing your project with small Czech fire polished beads can add a professional touch and extra brilliance to the mottled glaze of these components. Each 5 g package contains approximately 100 beads, though the weight remains the definitive measure. When working with these beads, we recommend using S-lon or Nymo thread and beading needles size 10-12 for the best results in your beadwork.
