Arcos® par Puca® N. 70 - Orange Opal Bronze

Orange Opal Bronze tones define these precision-engineered 5 x 10 mm crescent-shaped elements, which feature three parallel 0.8 mm holes for intricate structural integrity in multi-hole beads projects. The specific hole placement allows for sophisticated geometry in jewelry making supplies, ensuring that each bead sits flush within a pattern without tilting. When designing complex patterns, beaders often use Preciosa seed beads as textural filler to stabilize the arches and create fluid transitions between the larger Czech glass beads.

French artist Annick Puca designed this shape as part of the Les Perles par Puca® collection, emphasizing a modular system where different shapes like Arcos® par Puca® and Samos® par Puca® are mathematically compatible. These beads are manufactured in the Czech Republic using traditional pressed glass methods, ensuring high-quality surface finishes and consistent hole diameters for bead weaving supplies. For a striking contrast, pair these orange bronze beads with cobalt blue elements, or beautifully complement them with yellow topaz for a warm, harmonious aesthetic.

Architectural jewelry projects benefit from the unique interlocking capability of the crescent shape beads, especially when used as a structural frame for other components. These arches are frequently used as an elegant framing element for a Cabochon® par Puca®, creating a professional bezel effect that highlights the French jewelry design heritage. For secure assembly, we recommend using S-lon FIRE polyethylene thread to ensure multiple thread passes through the bead remain durable and fray-resistant over time.
