Matubo™ Superduo N. 174 - TANZANITE AB

Tanzanite AB iridescence solves the common challenge of finding a violet bead that maintains its brilliance across various lighting conditions. These Matubo Superduo beads feature a high-quality pressed finish that ensures a uniform petal shape, allowing you to create complex patterns without the frustration of irregular sizes. To add extra sparkle to your floral or geometric designs, consider incorporating 3mm or 4mm Czech fire polished beads which perfectly complement the faceted shimmer of the AB coating.

Beadweaving techniques such as the honeycomb or peyote stitch are significantly easier to execute with these two-hole beads because of their precise hole placement. These glass components are specifically designed to nestle tightly together, and for the most professional finish, they should be paired with MATUBO seed beads that share the same calibrated glass source. This synergy creates a seamless texture that is highly sought after by professional jewelry designers.

• Unique two-hole design for architectural jewelry projects
• Precision-pressed glass ensures consistent size and 0.8mm holes
• Luxurious AB finish for a dynamic, color-shifting shimmer
• Perfectly compatible with other Matubo brand glass beads

Violet tones in this Tanzanite shade offer a regal aesthetic that pairs beautifully with dark sapphire for a harmonious look or gold accents for a striking, high-contrast finish. Because these Czech glass beads have slightly sharp edges near the holes, it is highly recommended to use S-lon thread, as its nylon construction is specifically engineered to resist abrasion and provide long-lasting tension for bracelets and necklaces.

Small 2.5x5mm dimensions make these beads ideal for delicate earrings or as structural elements in larger statement pieces where weight distribution is key. For best results when working through the small holes of these two-hole elements, always utilize professional beading needles in sizes 10 or 11 to ensure multiple thread passes through the bead remain smooth and snag-free. These Matubo beads represent the gold standard for beadweaving, offering reliability and a sophisticated color palette for any artisan.
