MATUBO NIB-BIT N. 379 - Jet Iris Luster

Deep in the heart of the Jizera Mountains, the centuries-old tradition of Bohemian glassmaking lives on through the precision of Matubo™ Nib-Bit beads. These unique components carry the legacy of skilled artisans who have perfected the art of pressing glass into intricate, functional shapes for generations, ensuring every piece meets the highest standards of the Czech glass beads industry.

The Jet Iris Luster finish creates a mesmerizing oil-slick effect, where dark midnight tones meet flashes of violet, blue, and copper. Because they are 2-hole beads with a tapered wedge profile, they allow for structural complexity that standard round beads simply cannot achieve. The glossy surface reflects light beautifully, adding a mysterious depth to any piece of handmade jewelry.

• Uniform wedge shape for perfect nesting in circular patterns
• Dual parallel holes for advanced bead weaving techniques
• Durable iris finish that resists wear and fading
• Crafted from premium glass for consistent sizing

When designing intricate mandalas or circular motifs, these beads act as the perfect petals or structural anchors in bead weaving. For a striking contrast, pair with gold accents to make the iridescent surface truly pop against the dark base. The Matubo™ Nib-Bit shape is specifically engineered to fit snugly together, creating a solid, fabric-like texture in your beadwork.

Artisans often combine these with Preciosa seed beads in size 10/0 or 11/0 to fill gaps in geometric patterns or to create soft transitions between larger elements. The generous hole size allows for multiple thread passes through the bead, which is essential for complex jewelry making projects where structural integrity is paramount.

You might also consider using Czech fire polished beads as textured accents within a Matubo™ Nib-Bit composition to add a different level of brilliance. Whether you are creating a statement necklace or a delicate bracelet, the consistency of these multi-hole beads ensures a professional, high-end finish. Each package contains approximately 30 beads, though the weight is always the decisive factor for quantity.
