MATUBO NIB-BIT N. 149 - Jet Full Ab

Jet black pressed glass provides the foundation for the striking iridescent finish found on these Matubo™ Nib-Bit beads. Designed with a distinct wedge shape and two parallel holes, these Czech glass beads offer superior geometric precision for professional beadwork. The 0.8 mm hole size is meticulously drilled to ensure smooth multiple thread passes through the bead, making them a reliable choice for complex structural designs where thread tension and stacking behavior are critical. For a harmonious color palette, try pairing these dark tones with graphite or dark grey accents, or introduce a striking contrast with siam red.

Technical consistency is a hallmark of the Matubo™ Nib-Bit, allowing designers to achieve perfectly aligned patterns in circular or floral motifs. These beads integrate seamlessly with other shapes, particularly when using Preciosa seed beads in size 10/0 or 11/0 to fill gaps and provide flexible articulation. To maintain the integrity of your work during intensive weaving, we recommend using S-lon or Nymo threads combined with beading needles size 10-12. For a touch of brilliance, silver serves as a perfect neutral accent to highlight the colorful flashes of the AB coating.

Dimensional stability makes these beads ideal for both traditional needlework and modern wire techniques. Beyond classic weaving, they are an excellent choice for wire-wrapped jewelry and sculptural ornaments when used with jewelry wire. You can easily incorporate them as textured elements alongside Czech fire polished beads to create multi-layered compositions with varying light reflection. Each pack contains approximately 30 beads, providing ample material for a pair of intricate earrings or as a focal component in a larger necklace.
