Arcos® par Puca® N. 18 - Opaque Blue Turquoise Bronze

Bohemian-inspired palettes are making a significant comeback in contemporary accessory design, blending earthy textures with vibrant pops of color. These triple hole beads feature a stunning mottled finish that captures the essence of weathered stone and ancient artifacts, providing a timeless aesthetic to any handcrafted piece. As part of the exclusive Les Perles par Puca® collection, they represent the perfect fusion of artistic French design and traditional glassmaking.

Opaque blue turquoise tones combined with rich bronze accents make the Arcos® par Puca® system a must-have for any professional jewelry designer. This specific colorway beautifully complements warm copper or deep teal components for a striking contrast, or you can pair them with neutral accents like bronze to emphasize the earthy, organic texture of the glass. The finish provides a unique depth that makes every bead look like a tiny work of art.

Structural jewelry projects often require shapes that interlock seamlessly, which is why Samos® par Puca® beads are the perfect companion for this crescent-shaped component. Created by French artist Annick Puca, these Czech glass beads are manufactured with legendary precision, ensuring that all three holes line up perfectly. This allows for complex geometric architectures where Amos® par Puca® or Minos® shapes can be layered to create three-dimensional masterpieces.

Intricate beadweaving techniques like the circular fans seen in many professional tutorials benefit from the addition of Preciosa seed beads in size 10/0 or 11/0 to fill gaps between the larger elements. The unique geometry of the Arcos® par Puca® allows you to frame other beads or create scalloped edges in necklaces and bracelets. Because they are designed to work together, you can confidently mix various shapes from the collection without worrying about mismatched angles or spacing.

Precision beadwork requires the right tools to handle the multiple thread passes through the bead typical of complex designer patterns. For best results, we recommend using Nymo thread or S-lon FIRE with beading needles size 10-12 to maintain structural integrity while weaving. Given the 0.8 mm hole size, choosing a high-quality thread ensures that your jewelry remains flexible yet durable enough for everyday wear.
