MATUBO NIB-BIT N. 182 - Polychrome Chameleon Emerald

Centuries of tradition in the Crystal Valley of Northern Bohemia have culminated in the precision of the Matubo™ Nib-Bit. These wedge-shaped treasures carry the legacy of Czech glassmaking, where artisans have refined the art of pressing glass into perfect geometric forms for generations. The unique silhouette allows jewelry designers to explore structural dimensions that traditional round beads simply cannot achieve.

Polychrome Chameleon Emerald represents a modern evolution of this heritage, offering a mesmerizing shift between deep forest greens and mystical violet undertones. This unique finish gives your designs a shifting, organic life that mimics the natural beauty of rare minerals found in the heart of the Bohemian mountains. The matte metallic surface provides a sophisticated luster that remains durable throughout the life of your jewelry.

• Perfectly uniform two-hole design for complex bead weaving.
• Smooth, iridescent finish that shifts color with the light.
• Wedge shape allows for seamless circular, floral, or curved patterns.
• High-quality pressed glass ensuring consistent dimensions for every bead.

Incorporating these into your next project provides endless structural possibilities. You can easily integrate Czech fire polished beads as sparkling accents between the flat surfaces of the Nib-Bits to add depth and brilliance to a bracelet or necklace. The two-hole system is particularly effective for creating textured cuffs or architectural earrings that hold their shape perfectly.

For the best results, we recommend using S-lon thread (specifically S-lon D) paired with beading needles size 10-12. This combination ensures the thread can achieve multiple thread passes through the bead without compromising the integrity of the design. This rich emerald color beautifully complements peridot green for a lush, monochromatic look, or pair with gold accents for a truly regal and high-contrast finish.

When refining the transitions in your beadwork, Preciosa seed beads in size 10/0 or 11/0 serve as the ideal connecting fill. While a package contains approximately 30 beads, the weight is the decisive factor in every pack. These beads offer the modern maker a chance to continue the story of artistry and excellence that has defined the Czech bead industry for hundreds of years.
