Matubo Wheel N. 13 (6 mm) - Chalk Ruby Luster

Romantic vintage aesthetics are currently dominating the handmade jewelry scene, and these dusty ruby tones provide the perfect base for such elegant designs. The unique disk shape of Matubo™ Wheel beads adds unexpected architectural texture to traditional bead weaving patterns. Their wide, flat surface captures light differently than standard rounds, making them a preferred choice for designers looking to create sophisticated geometric jewelry with a professional finish.

High-quality Czech glass beads featuring a delicate luster finish soften the vibrant chalk ruby base, making them ideal for high-end boutique pieces. For a striking contrast, pair with emerald green, or beautifully complements harmonious wine and burgundy tones when used with a neutral jet black accent. Using these as spacers between larger elements or as structural components alongside Preciosa seed beads allows for intricate detailing in bracelets and necklaces.

Artisan crafters often utilize the generous 1.5 mm hole to accommodate multiple thread passes through the bead, which is essential for complex structural shapes. For best results, we recommend using Nymo thread with beading needles size 10-12 to ensure smooth assembly and durability. While S-lon D is an excellent versatile all-rounder for most stringing projects, you may consider S-lon FIRE for maximum strength in heavy-duty structural work.

Creating dimensional patterns becomes effortless when you mix these wheels with Matubo SuperDuo beads in combined two-hole projects. Each 10 g package contains approximately 85 beads, though the weight remains the decisive factor for the final count. These beads are manufactured by Matubo using high-quality glass, ensuring the consistency and durability required for both professional designer collections and weekend hobbyist projects.
