5SK244-M: Japanese Ruby Matte 5/0 - 500 Grams
These Japanese 5/0 seed beads in Ruby Matte transparent glass come in a generous 500-gram quantity — a workhorse size for weavers and fiber artists who need serious coverage in a deep, rich red.
The transparent finish lets light pass cleanly through the glass, giving the ruby color depth and glow without any surface coating between you and the color itself — and the matte surface softens that clarity into something warm and velvety rather than flashy.
Specifications
- Size: 05/0
- Color: Japanese Ruby Matte (transparent)
- Finish: Transparent
- Material: Glass, made in Japan
- Quantity: 500g
What to make with them
At 4.3–4.8 mm, 5/0s are a go-to for kumihimo braiding, macramé accent work, and chunky loom pieces where a standard 11/0 would disappear; they're also well-suited for stringing statement necklaces and bracelets where the bead itself carries the visual weight.
