Matubo™ Rulla N. 91 - Crystal

Crystal transparency meets architectural precision in these high-quality Matubo™ Rulla beads. Featuring a classic cylindrical shape with dimensions of 3x5 mm, these two-hole beads are engineered for perfect alignment in structural beadwork. The 0.8 mm hole diameter is remarkably consistent across production batches, allowing for multiple thread passes through the bead without compromising the integrity of your design or the strength of the weave. Professional beaders will appreciate the tight tolerances and smooth edges that prevent thread fraying during complex assembly.

Craftsmanship is at the heart of these Czech glass beads, which are manufactured by Matubo using premium glass from the renowned Preciosa glassworks. The glossy finish of the crystal glass offers a timeless clarity that reflects light beautifully, making them a versatile choice for both contemporary and vintage-style jewelry. Because of their flat ends, these beads stack effortlessly, a critical feature for creating clean lines in professional bead weaving projects. Beautifully complements neutral accents like gold for a luxurious, high-end aesthetic.

Integration with other shapes is where these components truly shine, as they share the same hole spacing as many other popular Czech geometric shapes. Using Matubo SuperDuo beads alongside Rulla shapes allows for the creation of intricate, flat textures in wide cuffs or dimensional pendants. When planning your project requirements, please note that a 10 g package contains approximately 96 beads, though the weight is the decisive factor for the quantity provided. Their uniform size ensures that patterns remain symmetrical even over large surface areas.

Advanced techniques such as tubular peyote, herringbone, or loom work benefit significantly from the stable geometry of these cylinders. Incorporating Preciosa seed beads in sizes 8/0 or 10/0 as spacers between rows can add a delicate touch to a robust multi-strand bracelet design. To ensure maximum durability in high-wear items, we recommend using a high-tenacity thread like S-lon FIRE, which provides the necessary security for these structural glass elements while remaining thin enough to accommodate beading needles size 10-12.
