Matubo Miniduo N. 496 - Metalust Burnt Copper Mat

The centuries-old tradition of the Jablonec region comes alive in these precisely shaped Matubo™ MiniDuo glass beads, which represent the pinnacle of Czech glassmaking expertise. These two-hole beads offer a smaller, more delicate profile than their larger counterparts, making them essential for creating intricate, high-detail beadweaving projects. For a truly professional finish, these copper components pair exceptionally well with Preciosa seed beads in sizes 10/0 or 11/0, which can be used to fill the small gaps in complex circular or floral patterns.

This specific Metalust Burnt Copper Mat finish provides a sophisticated, earthy glow that avoids excessive shine, lending a vintage look to any jewelry making project. Because of their unique 2x4mm size and smooth 0.8mm holes, multiple thread passes through the bead are easily achieved, though we recommend using S-lon FIRE thread along with beading needles size 11-12 for the most secure and durable results. To achieve a striking contrast in your next necklace or bracelet, pair these warm copper tones with deep teal or vibrant turquoise accents for a modern southwestern aesthetic.

Whether you are constructing rigid geometric shapes or soft, flowing fabric-like beadwork, these Czech glass beads provide the structural integrity required for modern designs. One of the most effective ways to use them is by incorporating Matubo GemDuo beads to add height and dimension, creating a layered effect that highlights the matte metallic surface. Each 5g package contains approximately 100 beads, ensuring you have plenty of material to bring your creative visions to life while maintaining the high standards of authentic Matubo craftsmanship.
