Matubo™ Rulla N. 172 - Jet Copper

Generations of artisans in the Jablonec region have perfected the art of glassmaking, and these Matubo™ Rulla beads represent the peak of this enduring legacy. Born from the rich tradition of Bohemian craftsmanship, these two-hole cylinders are pressed with precision to ensure a uniform shape that professional designers demand. By using high-quality glass, the makers achieve a depth of color and structural integrity that has made Czech glass famous worldwide, ensuring that every piece of jewelry reflects a standard of excellence.

The elongated cylindrical shape offers a unique geometry for bead weaving, allowing for seamless alignment in complex patterns and architectural designs. Because of their dual parallel holes, they are particularly effective when creating multi-row bracelets or structured necklaces that require stability. You can easily integrate Preciosa seed beads in size 8/0 or 11/0 as delicate spacers to add flexibility and movement to your intricate Rulla-based patterns.

• Precision-pressed 2-hole cylindrical shape for uniform weaving
• Generous 0.8 mm hole size allowing for multiple thread passes through the bead
• Consistent 3x5 mm dimensions ideal for professional geometric designs
• High-shine metallic Jet Copper finish on premium Czech glass

Copper tones bring a warm, antique elegance to any palette, evoking the look of hammered metalwork from a historical era. For a striking contrast, pair these metallic cylinders with vibrant teal beads, or beautifully complement the finish with deep siam red or classic jet black accents for a sophisticated, earthy aesthetic. The metallic coating is robust, providing a luxurious glow that mimics real copper jewelry components.

Precision in assembly requires high-quality materials, which is why we recommend using S-lon thread (specifically size D for general work or S-lon FIRE for maximum strength) with beading needles size 10-12. These specific tools allow you to navigate the 0.8 mm holes comfortably, even during complex stitches that require the needle to pass through the same bead several times. This combination ensures your handmade projects remain secure, professionally tensioned, and durable over time.

Each 10 g package contains approximately 96 beads, providing ample material for a standard bracelet or several pairs of earrings. These versatile cylinders also work beautifully when combined with 3mm Czech fire polished beads to add extra sparkle and texture to your edges. Whether you are exploring contemporary peyote stitch variations or traditional geometric stringing, these metallic components offer endless creative possibilities and connect your modern artistry to the heritage of Czech beadmaking.
