Black Matte Pearl Beads 8mm Round for Jewellery Making - 50g Pack

Black matte pearl beads 8mm round with a soft, non-reflective finish that works across contemporary jewellery, bohemian designs, and minimalist craft projects.

Each pack contains approximately 50g of 8mm round acrylic matte pearl beads in solid black. The beads have a smooth, flat finish with no shine or gloss, a uniform size, and a centred threading hole for clean, even stringing. The matte black tone gives handmade jewellery a modern, understated look that pairs well with both metal findings and natural materials like leather and jute cord.

Why Choose JustKraft

These matte black beads are sorted for size and finish consistency before packing. Every bead has the same flat, non-reflective surface so your finished pieces look intentional rather than mixed. The centred hole keeps stringing straightforward, and the 50g quantity gives you enough to complete multiple pieces without excess waste.

Pro Tips

Matte beads pair best with oxidised metal findings, antique bronze clasps, and natural cord materials like waxed cotton or leather for a cohesive look. Avoid mixing with high-gloss beads in the same strand as the contrast can look unintentional unless used deliberately as a design element. Use 0.5mm to 0.8mm elastic cord for stretch bracelets with these 8mm beads and secure the knot with a small drop of jewellery glue.

Complete Your Setup

Pair these beads with waxed cotton cord, elastic beading cord, leather cord, lobster clasps, jump rings, and a beading needle to complete your jewellery making kit. You can also pick up matte white pearl beads, matte terracotta beads, or natural wood beads from JustKraft to build coordinated neutral tone collections.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many beads are in a 50g pack?
A: A 50g pack of 8mm round matte beads contains approximately 200 to 220 beads. This is enough for 8 to 10 standard bracelets or one full choker necklace.

Q: What is the difference between these and the shiny black pearl beads?
A: These have a flat, non-reflective matte surface while the shiny version has a high-gloss pearl finish. Both are the same 8mm size and material. The matte finish suits minimalist and bohemian styles while the shiny version suits classic and festive jewellery.

Q: What cord or wire size fits the threading hole?
A: The hole fits standard 0.5mm to 1mm elastic cord, 0.45mm to 0.5mm tiger tail beading wire, and most beading thread up to size D.

Q: Will the matte finish scratch or wear off?
A: The matte acrylic finish is durable for regular jewellery wear. Light surface marks can appear over extended daily use as with any matte finish product. Avoid abrasive surfaces and prolonged water exposure to keep the finish intact.

Q: Are these suitable for beginners?
A: Yes. The 8mm size is large enough to thread easily without a needle in many cases and the centred hole makes stringing straightforward even for first-time jewellery makers.
