Matubo™ Rulla N. 167 - Opaque Violet White Luster

Seeking a way to fix inconsistent gaps in your bead weaving patterns? Matubo™ Rulla beads offer a precision-molded alternative with a smooth, cylindrical shape and parallel dual holes that ensure your jewelry designs remain perfectly aligned. Unlike standard seed beads, these specialized 3x5mm beads are engineered for symmetry, making them a favorite for beginners and professional artisans alike who demand exactness in their creative work.

Structural integrity is the hallmark of the Matubo design, providing a stable foundation for complex geometric jewelry. These components are particularly effective when utilized in flat bracelet designs or three-dimensional shapes. They work exceptionally well when combined with Matubo SuperDuo beads, as the matching hole spacing allows for seamless transitions between the rounded diamond shape and the sleek cylinder of the Rulla, saving you time during the assembly process.

Incorporating these Czech glass beads into your next project adds a professional, high-end look that simple stringing cannot achieve. For a more textured and sparkly finish, try nesting a few 3mm Czech fire polished beads between the cylinders to act as shimmering accent elements. The uniform 0.8 mm holes allow for multiple thread passes through the bead, giving you the freedom to reinforce your work without the risk of breaking the glass.

The Opaque Violet White Luster finish provides a sophisticated, pearlescent glow that captures the light without being overly metallic, offering a soft aesthetic for romantic or vintage-inspired pieces. Beautifully complements peridot green for a striking botanical contrast, or you might pair them with dark sapphire for a regal, harmonious palette, or even jet black for a modern, high-contrast accent.

Professional results require the right tools, so we recommend using high-quality S-lon thread or S-lon FIRE for maximum strength in wearable art. Due to the precise sizing, these beads are best used with beading needles size 10-12, which glide through the dual holes with ease even when your pattern requires complex weaving. Using the correct needle and thread combination prevents unnecessary friction and ensures your finished piece has the perfect drape.

Whether you are exploring intricate peyote stitch variations or creating simple multi-strand necklaces, these Matubo™ Rulla beads provide endless creative possibilities. A standard 10 g package contains approximately 96 beads, providing ample material for a full bracelet or a pair of intricate statement earrings. The weight-based packaging ensures you have exactly what you need for your next masterpiece, regardless of the specific finish variations.
