MATUBO NIB-BIT N. 28 - Opaque Coral Red Ab

Nestled in the heart of Northern Bohemia, the tradition of glassmaking has flourished for centuries, passing through generations of skilled artisans who mastered the chemistry of fire and sand. This rich heritage lives on through the innovative designs of the Matubo workshop, where classic craftsmanship meets modern geometric precision in every bead. By utilizing premium Preciosa seed beads as complementary fillers in your patterns, you can honor this European legacy while creating something entirely contemporary and unique.

Matubo™ Nib-Bit beads offer a unique wedge-like profile that introduces a new level of depth and dimension to traditional bead weaving patterns. Their two-hole design allows for intricate structural work, as each bead fits snugly against its neighbor to form curved, circular, or honeycombed motifs. The vibrant Opaque Coral Red base is further enhanced by a shimmering AB finish, catching the light with a celestial iridescent glow that shifts between pink, violet, and gold as the wearer moves.

Creating complex architectural shapes becomes effortless when you pair these wedges with Matubo SuperDuo beads. The shared hole spacing between these two types allows for seamless transitions and professional-grade stability in 3D jewelry making projects. This synergy between different Czech glass beads shapes is what makes this brand a favorite among professional artists seeking to push the boundaries of dimensional beading.

For a striking contrast that truly makes the coral red pop, try pairing these pieces with deep teal accents or cool metallic tones. The warm, fiery energy of the iridescent coating also beautifully complements rose pink and gold, creating a romantic and sophisticated palette for necklaces or statement earrings. Incorporating Czech fire polished beads into the mix can add an extra layer of sparkle and varied texture to your jewelry compositions.

Achieving a professional finish requires the right foundation, so we recommend using S-lon thread (Size D) for most general projects. If your design requires extra durability for heavy wear or complex structures, S-lon FIRE offers maximum strength while remaining thin enough for multiple thread passes through the bead. Always consider the total diameter of your tools to ensure the needle and thread pass through the 0.8 mm holes without unnecessary friction.

Every pack contains approximately 30 beads, providing enough material for focal elements or repeating patterns in a bracelet. Because the count is approximate and depends on the specific glass batch, the weight remains the decisive measurement for packaging. For best results, use beading needles size 10-12 to navigate the precise geometry of these Matubo beads and realize your most ambitious creative possibilities.
