Matubo™ Rulla N. 88 - Pastel Bordeaux

Pastel Bordeaux hues characterize these 3x5mm cylinders, providing a deep, wine-toned saturation with a refined satiny finish ideal for structural bead weaving. These Matubo™ Rulla beads are precision-pressed to ensure high dimensional consistency, which is vital for maintaining professional tolerances in complex patterns. Integrating these components with Preciosa seed beads in sizes 10/0 or 8/0 allows for sophisticated spacing and textured jewelry surfaces. With a precise 0.8mm hole size, they comfortably allow for multiple thread passes through the bead without risk of friction-induced damage.

Czech-sourced glass material ensures exceptional durability and a smooth surface that minimizes thread abrasion during tight stitching. A 10g package provides a bead count of approximately 96 pieces, though weight remains the primary measurement for precision. These cylinders are designed to nest seamlessly with Matubo SuperDuo beads, enabling artists to create intricate, tile-like textures in multi-layered bracelets. The uniform manufacturing process ensures that the dual parallel holes are perfectly aligned, preventing the warping often seen in lower-grade components.

Sophisticated jewelry designs benefit from the structural stability these beads provide when used with professional-grade materials. For best results, we recommend using S-lon thread (specifically S-lon D or S-lon FIRE for high-tension work) paired with beading needles size 10-12. This combination allows for effortless navigation through the 0.8mm channels, accommodating the thickness of the needle and doubled thread even in repetitive weaving. The cylindrical profile is particularly effective for circular peyote and right-angle weave (RAW) variations, where consistent edge contact is crucial.

Wine-colored tones provide a luxurious depth that anchors a jewelry piece without overwhelming surrounding accents. Beautifully complements dark bronze or gold tones to create a classic, regal aesthetic, while a pairing with forest green offers a striking organic contrast. Because the Matubo™ Rulla 'Pastel' finish creates a soft luster rather than a harsh shine, these beads are perfect for both contemporary daywear and high-end evening accessories. The high-quality Czech glass craftsmanship ensures that the color remains vibrant throughout the life of your jewelry making project.
