Matubo Wheel N. 17 (6 mm) - Chalk Capri Gold

Chalk Capri Gold finish on these Matubo™ Wheel beads offers a sophisticated contrast between an opaque white core and a rich metallic rim. Measuring 6mm with a precise 1.5mm hole, these components are engineered for total consistency, ensuring that every piece sits perfectly within intricate geometric patterns. Professional jewelry designers value the high manufacturing tolerances of Matubo™ glass, which minimize breakage and misalignment in high-tension bead weaving projects.

Craftsmanship starts with the premium material used in production, as these beads are manufactured from high-quality glass batches by the renowned Matubo™ company. These Matubo SuperDuo beads and Wheel counterparts share a similar glass base, making them ideal for coordinated jewelry sets. The 1.5mm center hole is remarkably smooth, allowing for multiple thread passes through the bead without the risk of fraying or catching on internal imperfections.

Wheel-shaped components are indispensable for adding structural depth and architectural interest to beadwork. They work seamlessly when integrated with Preciosa seed beads in sizes 8/0 or 10/0, acting as decorative spacers or focal points in circular netting and flat weaves. The flat, donut-like profile of these Czech glass beads allows for a compact stacking behavior that standard round beads cannot achieve, providing a sleek, modern finish to complex bracelets.

Beautifully complements cobalt blue or deep navy tones to create a regal, high-contrast look that highlights the metallic Capri Gold luster. For a more subtle, contemporary aesthetic, try pairing this white and gold palette with silver or cool greys to balance the warmth of the metallic finish. This Chalk Capri Gold 03000/27101 colorway is particularly effective in bridal jewelry or evening wear where a touch of metallic luxury is required.

Threading compatibility is a priority for advanced artisans, and we recommend using S-lon thread for general use, or S-lon FIRE for maximum strength in heavy-duty structural designs. When working with the wide 1.5mm hole, you can easily use beading needles size 10-12, as the generous internal diameter comfortably accommodates the total diameter of the needle and doubled thread. This makes the Matubo™ Wheel an excellent choice for complex patterns requiring repeated reinforcement.

Professional crafters can plan their inventory accurately as a 10 g package contains approximately 85 beads. While the exact count is approximate and depends on the specific weight of the color coating, the consistency of the 6mm diameter remains a hallmark of Matubo™ production. These Czech glass spacers enable advanced dimensional techniques, allowing designers to create jewelry making projects that retain their shape and brilliance through years of wear.
