Matubo™ Rulla N. 176 - Jet Picasso

Dark, earthy aesthetics are currently dominating the artisan jewelry scene, making these 2-hole beads a must-have for any modern designer. The unique Matubo™ Rulla shape offers a perfect cylindrical profile that fits seamlessly into geometric patterns and structured beadwork. These high-quality Czech glass beads are manufactured with extreme precision, ensuring that the parallel holes are perfectly aligned for multi-strand projects and intricate weaving techniques.

• Uniform 3x5 mm cylindrical shape for professional finishes
• Innovative 2-hole design perfect for architectural beadwork
• Artisan Jet Picasso finish providing a rustic, stone-like appearance
• Made from premium glass for durability and color consistency

Using these cylinders alongside Preciosa seed beads in sizes 8/0 or 10/0 as spacers allows you to create flexible, fabric-like textures in wide cuff bracelets. This Matubo™ Rulla variety is particularly popular for advanced peyote stitch variations where a flat, architectural surface is desired without the bulk of traditional round beads. The versatility of the two-hole system opens up endless possibilities for connecting different components in a single design.

Beautifully complements silver accents for a sophisticated, metallic edge, or you can pair them with crystal clear beads for a striking contrast that lets the mottled Jet Picasso finish truly shine. These beads evoke the look of natural polished stone while maintaining the technical precision required for complex jewelry patterns. They are an excellent choice for masculine jewelry designs or bohemian-style accessories that require a grounded, organic feel.

Integrating small accent elements from our collection of Czech fire polished beads can add a subtle touch of light to the dark, mysterious surface of the Jet Picasso finish. The dual holes allow for intricate layering and the creation of 3D structures, making them ideal for crafting dimensional necklaces or ornate focal pieces for earrings. Because they are made from high-quality Czech glass, they maintain their finish even with regular wear.

For best results, use Nymo thread with beading needles size 10-12 to ensure smooth multiple thread passes through the 0.8 mm holes. We also recommend S-lon thread for general projects, while S-lon FIRE provides maximum strength for heavy-duty wear. Since each 10g pack contains approximately 96 beads, you will have ample material to complete detailed wrap bracelets or several pairs of geometric earrings.
