Arcos® par Puca® N. 21 - Opaque Beige Splash

The legacy of Czech glassmaking is captured in the elegant crescent form of these artisanal components produced in the historic Crystal Valley. Every bead represents a fusion of age-old Bohemian techniques and modern precision, ensuring that your jewelry making projects benefit from consistent quality and unique aesthetics. For a striking contrast, pair these mottled beige elements with deep amethyst purple or maintain a classic look with neutral jet black or chalk white.

Annick Puca, a renowned French bead artist, designed the Arcos® par Puca® shape to provide designers with a sophisticated architectural element. These three-hole components serve as a beautiful arched framing for a Cabochon® par Puca®, allowing for the creation of intricate mandalas and floral-inspired jewelry settings. The mottled finish of the Opaque Beige Splash color adds a layer of depth to your creations, giving each project a unique, hand-painted appearance.

Geometric patterns and fluid curves become easy to achieve when you combine different shapes from the Les Perles par Puca® collection. You can beautifully complement the arched profile of these beads by incorporating round Samos® par Puca® elements into your bead weaving designs. This interconnectivity is a hallmark of the Puca design philosophy, where every 3-hole bead like the Arcos® par Puca® is meant to harmonize with its companions like Minos® or Delos®.

Working with multi-hole beads requires specialized materials to ensure multiple thread passes through the bead without compromising the structure. For the strongest results in your DIY jewelry, we recommend using S-lon thread—specifically the S-lon FIRE variant—paired with beading needles size 10-12 to navigate the 0.8 mm holes smoothly. This combination provides the durability needed for complex patterns and high-wear items like bracelets and statement necklaces.
