Matubo Wheel N. 4 (6 mm) - Chalk Blue Glaze

Achieving a rustic, artisanal look in modern jewelry can be challenging when standard round beads feel too generic. These Matubo™ Wheel beads solve that design dilemma with their unique donut shape and organic chalk blue glaze finish. By incorporating these 6mm disks into your work, you instantly add architectural interest and a sophisticated, weathered texture that elevates simple strands into designer-quality pieces.

• Uniform 6mm diameter for consistent pattern repeats in bead weaving.
• Generous 1.5mm hole allows for multiple thread passes through the bead.
• Durable Czech glass construction from the famous Matubo workshop.
• Approximately 85 beads per 10g pack, though weight is the decisive measure.

Bead weaving enthusiasts often find these disks indispensable for creating structured borders or stabilizing intricate geometric shapes. Because they share the same precision-pressed quality as Matubo SuperDuo beads, they pair perfectly in multi-layered patterns. Use them as spacers between larger focal beads or stack them to create a textured, rib-like effect in a chunky necklace project.

Working with muted tones requires the right contrast to keep the palette vibrant rather than dull. Beautifully complements warm metallic accents, or for a striking contrast, pair with orange hyacinth or sun-kissed terracotta tones. The Picasso-like glaze adds significant depth, catching the light differently on every bead, which prevents your finished jewelry from looking flat or mass-produced.

Softening the edges of a complex design is much easier when you have high-quality components that nestle together perfectly. Combining these wheels with tiny Preciosa seed beads in sizes 8/0 or 10/0 allows you to fill small gaps and create smooth transitions in circular motifs. Whether you are using S-lon thread for a supple drape or S-lon FIRE for a more rigid structure, these Matubo™ Wheel beads ensure your artisan creations look professional and stand the test of time.
