Matubo™ Rulla N. 24 - Crystal Violet Rainbow

Muted metallic palettes and vintage-inspired iridescent finishes are currently dominating high-end jewelry design, making these cylindrical components a vital addition to any artist's collection. The unique iridescent violet beads feature a sophisticated coating that shifts between soft mauve, dusty rose, and metallic copper tones depending on the light. These 3x5mm glass beads provide a perfectly uniform shape that allows for precise alignment in geometric patterns, offering a professional finish that is difficult to achieve with traditional rounded shapes.

Matubo™ Rulla beads are exceptionally versatile 2-hole cylinder beads that excel in structural designs where stability is paramount. Because they share the same precise hole spacing as other Matubo products, they are frequently used in flat bracelet patterns alongside Matubo SuperDuo beads to create complex, multi-layered textures. These Czech glass beads are crafted with a smooth surface that ensures comfortable wear against the skin, making them ideal for wide cuffs and statement necklaces.

Sophisticated color transitions can be easily mastered by pairing this rainbow finish with contrasting or tonal elements. For a striking contrast, pair with siam red, or beautifully complement them with bronze for a more grounded, neutral accent. Incorporating Preciosa seed beads in size 11/0 as spacers between the cylinders will add fluidity to your work and help define the intricate shapes. A standard 10 g package contains approximately 96 beads, providing ample material for several small projects or a substantial focal piece.

Premium bead weaving materials require the right tools to ensure longevity and ease of construction. For best results with these high-quality glass beads, we recommend using Nymo thread together with beading needles size 10-12. The generous 0.8 mm hole size allows for multiple thread passes through the bead, which is essential for secure endings and complex weaving techniques like peyote or brick stitch. The durable finish on these Matubo beads ensures that your jewelry remains vibrant and resistant to wear over time.
