Matubo™ Superduo N. 182 - Light Copper Metallic Mat

Centuries of glassmaking tradition in the Jizera Mountains have culminated in the precision of Matubo Superduo components. These Czech glass beads are born from a heritage where master artisans transform molten raw materials into perfectly uniform shapes. The matte metallic finish provides a sophisticated, non-reflective glow that echoes the look of antique copperware found in historical European workshops.

• Unique petal-like shape that nests perfectly for complex geometric patterns
• Dual-hole design allows for intricate multi-dimensional structural weaving
• Consistent sizing ensures your jewelry making projects remain symmetrical
• High-quality coating designed for durability and a premium satin feel

Beadweaving enthusiasts often reach for these 2-hole beads when creating 3D structures or wide, textured bands. The copper metallic hue acts as a warm, earthy anchor that pairs beautifully with the sparkle of Preciosa Bicone beads, which can be nestled between the Superduos to add light-catching depth. For a striking contrast, pair with teal or deep turquoise to evoke a weathered verdigris aesthetic.

Because these 2.5x5mm beads feature precisely pressed holes, they are compatible with various structural techniques like peyote, brick stitch, or herringbone. For best results, use S-lon FIRE thread with beading needles size 10-11 to ensure the thread remains protected against the inner edges of the dual passages. The soft metallic sheen of this finish adds a touch of rustic luxury to any handmade accessory.

Geometric elegance becomes effortless when you integrate these pieces into modern cuffs or statement necklaces. By combining these versatile elements with MATUBO Rulla beads, designers can achieve flat, architectural surfaces that feel comfortable against the skin. Whether you are crafting a bohemian set or a sleek industrial piece, the soft luster of these matte beads ensures a timeless finish that honors its artisan roots.
