MATUBO NIB-BIT N. 69 - Jet Hematite Mat

Deep in the heart of Northern Bohemia, the tradition of glassmaking has been passed down through generations, evolving from fireside crafts into the precision engineering of the modern era. Matubo™ Nib-Bit beads carry that legacy, produced in a region world-renowned for its artistic glass and heritage. The matte jet hematite finish evokes the industrial elegance of ironwork, grounding your jewelry designs with a sophisticated, timeless weight that only authentic Czech glass beads can provide.

Geometric precision defines the wedge-shaped components, which are designed to nestle perfectly into circular patterns or create sharp, architectural lines in bead weaving. Because they feature two parallel holes, they are essential for complex patterns where structural integrity is paramount. To bridge the gaps between larger elements, many designers rely on Preciosa seed beads in size 10/0 or 11/0 to create seamless transitions and intricate lace-like details within a composition.

Versatility is at the core of the Matubo design philosophy, allowing these wedge beads to interact effortlessly with other multi-hole shapes. You can easily integrate them with Matubo SuperDuo beads to build three-dimensional textures and structural jewelry pieces like cuffs and medallions. For a striking contrast in your next project, beautifully complement the dark metallic surface by pairing it with bright gold or warm copper accents to make the matte finish truly stand out.

Mastering the geometry of two-hole beadwork requires the right tools to ensure durability and ease of assembly during multiple thread passes through the bead. For best results, we recommend using S-lon thread (specifically size D) along with beading needles size 10-12 for a smooth workflow. A package contains approximately 30 beads, providing the perfect quantity for focal accents or small components in a larger jewelry making masterpiece.
