Matubo Gemduos – Versatile 2-hole Beads

The 2-hole Matubo gemduos  are one of the most popular multi-hole beads.  Their diamond shape means that they are very versatile.  They nestle together beautifully but also work well with other 2-hole beads.  We have some lovely free projects from Matubo.

Matubo Gemduos

These 8x5mm diamond-shaped beads are extremely popular due to their very versatile shape.  You can just sit the diamond shapes side by side or make a pretty star or large diamond shape with them.

They also work well with other 2-hole beads such as the paisley duos and ginkos shown here.

The Matubo gemduos are available in a very wide range of colours including backlit colours and the new Bondeli shades.
