Matubo™ Rulla N. 109 - Limon

Limon yellow 83120 provides a vibrant, high-visibility pop of color for professional jewelry designs requiring two-hole beads with exact dimensions. These 3x5mm cylinder beads are engineered for precision, ensuring that each piece aligns perfectly in complex geometric patterns where symmetry is paramount. The cylindrical shape of the Matubo™ Rulla series allows for seamless integration into woven structures that require a clean, modern aesthetic.

Czech glass beads manufacturing standards ensure these components feature two parallel holes with a diameter of 0.8 mm. This generous hole size allows for multiple thread passes through the bead, making them incredibly versatile for structural bead weaving when paired with Matubo SuperDuo beads in layered bracelet designs. The glass is sourced for its durability and clarity, resulting in a bead that holds its shape under tension.

Precise tolerances are a hallmark of this product line, offering a smoother surface and more uniform shape than traditional seed beads. Designers often utilize these artisan glass beads to create smooth, leather-like textures in flat peyote or herringbone weaves where the beads must sit flush against one another without gapping. Their unique geometry makes them a staple for 3D beadwork and architectural jewelry components.

Opaque finishes like this intense yellow are ideal for high-contrast projects, especially when used alongside darker Czech fire polished beads to create rhythmic focal points. The 83120 color code ensures a consistent dye lot that maintains its saturation and resists fading even after prolonged contact with the skin. This reliability is essential for professional crafters who sell their work at high-end markets.

Advanced beadwork techniques such as right-angle weave (RAW) or dimensional bead embroidery benefit from the flat ends of these multi-hole beads. When selecting a needle, beading needles size 10-12 are recommended to accommodate the thread and ensure the stability of the weave, particularly when creating rigid structural jewelry pieces. For the strongest results in heavy-duty projects, consider using S-lon FIRE thread.

Each 10-gram package contains approximately 96 beads, providing ample material for a standard-sized bracelet or several pairs of earrings. For a professional finish, incorporate 11/0 or 10/0 Preciosa seed beads as spacers between the Rulla units to prevent thread friction and improve the drape of the finished jewelry. Note that the bead count is approximate and may vary slightly based on the specific glass density.
