MATUBO NIB-BIT N. 202 - Magic Red Yellow

Precision-engineered for professional beadwork, the wedge-shaped geometry of Matubo™ Nib-Bit beads offers a sophisticated solution for creating circular and curved motifs. Measuring exactly 6x5 mm, these two-hole components are manufactured with tight tolerances to ensure consistent hole alignment and smooth edges. The parallel 0.8 mm channels are designed to accommodate multiple thread passes through the bead, making them an essential choice for complex architectural designs where structural integrity is paramount.

Crafted from premium Preciosa glass, these beads possess a superior surface quality and color depth that distinguishes them in the world of high-end jewelry making. The pressing process used by Matubo ensures that every bead maintains its unique crescent profile, allowing them to nest perfectly against one another or create textured ridges in 3D beadwork. When planning intricate patterns, professional designers often utilize Matubo SuperDuo beads alongside Nib-Bits to bridge gaps or transition between different geometric planes.

• Dual 0.8 mm holes for versatile weaving paths
• Precise wedge shape ideal for circular patterns and mandalas
• High-quality Czech glass material for exceptional durability
• Compatible with standard beading needles size 10-12

The Magic Red Yellow finish presents a stunning iridescent display, shifting from deep magenta and fiery red to golden amber and verdant green depending on the light angle. This multi-tone effect is achieved through a high-vacuum coating process that remains durable throughout the life of the jewelry. For a striking contrast, pair with amethyst purple accents to pull out the hidden violet tones within the iridescence, or use jet black as a neutral anchor to make the metallic sheen truly pop.

Advanced techniques such as bezeling or structural netting benefit greatly from the tapered profile of these beads, which allow for a tighter radius than standard rectangular shapes. To ensure the best results in heavy-duty wearable art, we recommend using S-lon FIRE or classic S-lon thread to maintain tension without compromising the glass. Integrating Preciosa seed beads in size 10/0 or 11/0 between the wider ends of the Nib-Bits can help stabilize the weave and add fine detail to your project. Please note that a standard 30-piece pack contains approximately 30 beads, though the weight is the decisive factor in packaging.
