Matubo Wheel N. 16 (6 mm) - Chalk Celsian

The centuries-old tradition of glassmaking in the Jizera Mountains comes to life in these modern Matubo™ Wheel components. Handcrafted by skilled artisans in the heart of the Czech Republic, each bead carries the legacy of Bohemian craftsmanship, blending ancestral techniques with contemporary jewelry making supplies for the modern creator.

An opaque white chalk base provides the foundation for the sophisticated Celsian finish, which adds a warm, metallic bronze glow to the rim of these 6mm wheel beads. Their unique donut-like shape offers a sleek profile that stands out in both minimalist and complex patterns, making them a staple for those who value Bohemian glass beads with a luxury feel.

Designers often find that these beads work perfectly as spacers or focal points in textured beadwork when paired with Preciosa seed beads in sizes 8/0 or 10/0. Because of their consistent pressed glass geometry, they allow for perfectly aligned rows in wraps or loom-work, ensuring your handmade jewelry has a professional, high-end finish.

• Consistent 6mm diameter for precision in beadweaving components.
• Large 1.5mm hole allows for multiple thread passes or thicker cords.
• Premium Czech glass material ensures durability and long-lasting beauty.
• Unique Chalk Celsian finish provides a luxurious, vintage-inspired aesthetic.
• Approximate count of 85 beads per 10g package (weight is decisive).

Artisan jewelry makers can achieve striking structural results by using these as stabilizers in circular designs. The wide hole diameter is particularly beneficial when using stronger threads like S-lon FIRE, allowing the needle to pass through the bead hole multiple times without friction or risk of breakage.

Why not explore the architectural possibilities of combining these wheels with other multi-hole shapes? They are specifically designed to complement Matubo SuperDuo beads in complex dimensional projects, offering a smooth transition between different shapes that elevates the overall texture of your DIY necklace supplies and bracelets.
