Arcos® par Puca® N. 2 - Bronze Gold Mat

Matte metallic finishes offer a sophisticated texture to architectural beadwork, and these 3-hole crescent shapes are no exception. Arcos® par Puca® beads feature a precise 5 x 10 mm arched silhouette designed by French artist Annick Puca. Each bead is manufactured from high-quality Czech glass, ensuring hole consistency and smooth edges for professional-grade jewelry making.

Geometric versatility is the hallmark of the Les Perles par Puca® collection. These arches are engineered to nest perfectly with other shapes, such as Cabochon® par Puca®, creating elegant frames or floral-inspired motifs. The unique triple-hole configuration allows for complex structural designs and stable foundations in multidimensional necklaces or bracelets.

Bronzed gold tones provide a warm, timeless aesthetic that bridges the gap between classic and modern jewelry. For a striking contrast, pair with vibrant turquoise or utilize jet black as a neutral accent to make the metallic sheen pop. This specific finish is highly durable, making it an excellent choice for statement pieces that require lasting surface integrity.

Technical precision is required when working with multi-hole glass components. For best results, we recommend using S-lon FIRE polyethylene thread for maximum strength, as its minimal stretch ensures the arched shapes remain perfectly aligned. Given the 0.8 mm hole size, beading needles size 10-12 are the ideal companion to facilitate multiple thread passes through the bead without risk of breakage.

Professional designers often combine these arches with Samos® par Puca® beads to achieve fluid, organic patterns. The inter-compatibility between Arcos®, Minos®, and Piros® shapes allows for the creation of intricate lace-like textures that are difficult to replicate with standard seed beads. Explore the various patterns and tutorials available for the Puca® system to unlock the full potential of these interlocking components.

Glassmaking traditions of the Czech Republic meet French artistic vision in every piece of this collection. Because each bead is pressed with extreme accuracy, jewelry makers can rely on tight tolerances when stacking or weaving these components. Whether you are creating a simple pendant or an elaborate beaded collar, these beads provide the structural integrity and aesthetic depth required by master artisans.
