Amos® par Puca® N. 302 - Opaque Green Turquoise Travertin Dark

Opaque Green Turquoise Travertin Dark defines the aesthetic of these petal-shaped components, featuring a mottled finish that mimics the organic look of natural stone. These Amos® par Puca® beads measure exactly 5x8 mm and are manufactured using high-quality Czech glass, ensuring consistent dimensions across every piece. The teardrop profile is engineered with two parallel holes, providing structural stability for intricate bead weaving designs and geometric patterns.

Precision-drilled holes with a diameter of 0.8 mm allow for multiple thread passes through the bead, which is essential for complex professional beadwork. Designed by the renowned French artist Annick Puca, the Amos® par Puca® shape is part of a sophisticated ecosystem of beads. These components are specifically created to fit together like a puzzle, allowing artisans to create seamless curves and circular motifs when combined with other shapes like Arcos® par Puca®.

Traditional Czech glassmaking techniques are utilized to produce the durable opaque finish, while the travertine coating adds an earthy, vintage depth to the vibrant turquoise base. This unique surface treatment provides a professional-grade alternative to semi-precious stones, offering the consistency required for high-end jewelry collections. Using these beads ensures that your focal pieces maintain their shape and alignment over time, thanks to the uniform weight and pressing process.

For best results in structured projects, we recommend using Nymo thread or S-lon FIRE with beading needles size 10-12. Given the 0.8 mm hole size, ensure that your total diameter of needle and thread does not exceed this tolerance to avoid friction during repeat passes. The S-lon FIRE polyethylene thread is particularly effective for these beads as it provides the maximum strength needed for the sharp angles often found in Puca bead jewelry.

Beautifully complements warm metallic tones for a classic Mediterranean look. For a striking contrast, pair these turquoise beads with copper accents, or maintain a harmonious palette by using light aqua and aquamarine tones. You can also integrate neutral accents like jet black to make the mottled travertine finish pop, or explore the versatility of the Delos® par Puca® series to add architectural height to your creations.

Designers often utilize the Amos® shape to create floral petals, scales, or decorative borders in bracelets and earrings. Because the Amos® par Puca® range is fully compatible with the entire Les Perles par Puca® system, you can easily access numerous tutorials and patterns specifically written for these shapes. Whether you are constructing a complex necklace or a simple pair of drop earrings, the French design heritage ensures a result that is both elegant and technically sound.
