Czech Mini Gemduos by Matubo

These little Czech Mini Gemduos by Matubo are a great size and shape.  They combine beautifully with the original gemduos and other symmetrical multi-hole beads.  They also work very well on their own as these bracelet, necklace and earrings patterns show.

These Czech Mini Gemduos by Matubo measure 6x4mm.  Their diamond shape means that they are very versatile and work well on their own or with other beads, particularly the original 8x5mm gemduos.

They come in a lovely range of the most popular colours so you can mix and match them with lots of other Czech glass beads https://creativebeadcraft.co.uk/glass-beads/czech-mini-gemduo-beads.asp
