Arcos® par Puca® N. 15 - Opaque Coral Red

Precision-molded 5x10 mm crescent shapes define the Arcos® par Puca® collection, offering three parallel holes for intricate architectural bead weaving. These Czech glass beads are manufactured with strict tolerances to ensure consistent hole alignment, allowing for smooth passage of various beading materials. The vibrant Opaque Coral Red finish provides a solid, saturated look that serves as a bold foundation for complex jewelry patterns.

French design heritage meets the Czech glassmaking tradition in this collection by artist Annick Puca, who envisioned a system where different shapes interact flawlessly. Geometric components like Samos® par Puca® are designed to nest within the arches of these crescent beads, creating organic, flowing motifs. This synergy between Amos® par Puca®, Minos® par Puca®, and other shapes in the range allows for professional-grade results in handmade jewelry.

Opaque red glass offers a timeless aesthetic that beautifully complements gold accents for a luxurious feel or pairs naturally with turquoise for a vibrant, high-contrast palette. Because the glass material is pigmented through the body, it retains its color intensity over time, making it a reliable choice for bracelets and rings that see frequent wear.

Advanced dimensional beadwork requires the structural integrity provided by the Arcos® par Puca® three-hole configuration. These beads serve as excellent bridges or foundations when combined with Preciosa seed beads in size 10/0 or 11/0 to fill gaps in a pattern. The 0.8 mm hole size allows for the stability needed in intricate peyote or netting variations.

For best results, we recommend utilizing S-lon FIRE thread with beading needles size 10-12 to facilitate multiple thread passes through the bead without risk of friction damage. The polyethylene-based S-lon FIRE is ideal for its exceptional strength and minimal stretch, ensuring your woven structures remain crisp and secure. This 3 g package provides 14 components to integrate into your next designer jewelry project.
