Matubo Z Bead N. 18

A shimmering metallic silver finish meets a unique S-shape, allowing these components to nestle against one another in a seamless, fluid motion. These Matubo Z beads are a revolutionary choice for designers who want to move beyond standard shapes and embrace geometric complexity. They pair beautifully with Matubo SuperDuo to create dense, fabric-like textures that drape elegantly against the skin while maintaining a bold, contemporary aesthetic.

• Precise two-hole design for structural stability in woven pieces
• Unique interlocking Z-shape for seamless, puzzle-like patterns
• Consistent 10mm size ensures professional and uniform results
• Premium Czech glass with a high-quality matte metallic finish

This cool, matte silver hue provides a sophisticated metallic look without the harsh glare of high-shine coatings. For the best results in your woven jewelry, we recommend using S-lon thread (size D or FIRE for extra durability) paired with beading needles size 10-12. The 0.8 mm hole diameter is generous enough to allow for multiple thread passes through the bead, which is essential for complex structural work like 3D shapes or stiffened collars.

Imagine a cuff bracelet where the beads fit together perfectly, creating a rhythmic, wavy surface that catches the light from every angle. Beyond simple stringing, these silver 2-hole beads are exceptional for advanced bead weaving techniques such as circular peyote or architectural right-angle weave. By combining them with smaller Matubo MiniDuo beads, you can graduate your designs from thick centers to delicate edges, achieving a professional jewelry-store finish in every handmade project.
