Matubo™ Rulla N. 252 - Pastel Dark Grey/Hematite

Seeking a way to create perfectly aligned, geometric designs without the bulk of traditional round beads? These sleek, cylindrical shapes offer a sophisticated solution for artisans who value precision and structural integrity in their beadwork. By providing two parallel holes, Matubo™ Rulla beads ensure your patterns remain flat and professionally finished, eliminating the common frustration of uneven rows or twisted designs in multi-row patterns.

Dark metallic grey tones meet a smooth, satin finish in this Pastel Dark Grey Hematite variety, expertly pressed from high-quality glass. These 3x5mm cylinder beads are engineered for absolute consistency, making them a staple for creating architectural jewelry pieces that require a uniform look. For designers working on complex flat bracelets, integrating Matubo SuperDuo beads alongside these Rullas allows for seamless transitions between different geometric textures and heights.

Contrasting shades like coral or peach will make this gunmetal hue pop, while pairing them with jet black creates a powerful, monochromatic aesthetic. These cylinders also look fantastic when interspersed with 3mm Czech fire polished beads, which add a subtle touch of sparkle to the matte metallic surface. The 0.8mm holes are generously sized to allow multiple thread passes through the bead, giving you the freedom to reinforce your work without worrying about breakage.

S-lon D thread is the ideal choice for general construction with these beads, though we recommend S-lon FIRE for projects requiring maximum strength and durability. For best results, use S-lon thread with beading needles size 10-12 to ensure your jewelry remains flexible. Each 10g package contains approximately 96 beads, providing ample material for a standard bracelet project when combined with Preciosa seed beads in size 11/0 used as spacers.
