Arcos® par Puca® N. 47 - Opaque Dark Sapphire Splash

Precision-engineered dimensions and uniform three-hole alignment define these Arcos® par Puca® beads, making them essential for complex bead weaving structures. The 0.8 mm hole diameter allows for multiple thread passes through the bead, which is crucial when securing intricate geometric designs. For best results, we recommend using S-lon FIRE thread with beading needles size 10-12, ensuring the total diameter of the needle and thread easily navigates the parallel channels of these Czech glass beads. This design provides professional-grade stability for master crafters and beginners alike.

Developed by French artist Annick Puca, the Les Perles par Puca® collection bridges the gap between sophisticated French design and world-renowned Czech glassmaking tradition. The crescent shape of these Arcos® par Puca® beads is specifically designed to work as an arched framing element for the Cabochon® par Puca®, creating elegant curves and architectural silhouettes. The opaque sapphire blue finish with its distinctive metallic splashes provides a luxurious, galaxy-like aesthetic that maintains its depth and luster across various light conditions. For a striking contrast, pair this dark sapphire tone with yellow topaz or keep the design harmonious with medium blue and jet black accents.

Advanced beaders can utilize the unique three-dimensional geometry of these beads to create circular mandalas, scalloped edges, or textured bezels when combined with Samos® par Puca® beads. Because these shapes are part of a modular system, they integrate seamlessly with other designer elements like Amos® par Puca®, Minos® par Puca®, and Delos® par Puca®. Whether you are following professional jewelry patterns or developing bespoke jewelry making projects, these beads offer the reliable tolerances required for high-end artisan craftsmanship. This 3 g pack provides the perfect quantity for creating focal components or reinforcing a larger jewelry ensemble.
