Matubo™ Superduo N. 89 - PASTEL BORDEAUX

The rolling hills of Northern Bohemia have served as the cradle of Czech glassmaking for centuries, where secret formulas and master techniques are passed down through generations. From this rich heritage of artistry comes the Matubo Superduo, a precision-engineered 2-hole bead that combines the soul of traditional craft with the exacting standards of modern jewelry design. Each piece is meticulously pressed from high-quality glass, ensuring a consistency that artisans around the world have come to rely on for their most ambitious projects.

Deep, wine-inspired hues define this Pastel Bordeaux finish, offering a velvety sheen that adds regal depth to any bead weaving project. When creating textured pieces like the popular Stackers bracelets, many designers find that these Matubo beads pair perfectly with Flat Silky beads to achieve a rhythmic, architectural look. The satin-like surface reflects light softly, making it an excellent choice for designs that require a sophisticated, non-metallic glow.

Have you ever considered how a simple change in shape can redefine a pattern? The unique tapered profile of these 2.5x5 mm beads allows them to nest perfectly in circular motifs, providing a stable foundation for complex structures that require both flexibility and strength. This geometry makes them indispensable for two-hole seed beads techniques, where they can be stacked, angled, or woven into intricate 3D shapes that hold their form beautifully over time.

For best results, we recommend using S-lon thread, specifically the FIRE variety, alongside beading needles size 10-11 to ensure maximum durability. This combination is particularly effective for bezeling around rivoli or other cabochons, where multiple thread passes through the bead are necessary to secure the glass in place. The smooth finish of the Matubo Superduo ensures that your thread glides through without snagging, even in the most tightly woven patterns.

Burgundy 2.5x5 mm beads provide a rich, luxurious foundation for your seasonal palette, allowing for endless creative exploration in contemporary jewelry. Beautifully complements dark bronze for a classic vintage feel, or you can pair them with forest green or olive tones for a striking, nature-inspired contrast. Whether you are a beginner or a master weaver, these Czech glass beads offer the versatility needed to transform a simple sketch into a professional-grade masterpiece.
