Arcos® par Puca® N. 103 - Full Capri Gold

Copper-toned metallic finishes on premium glass foundations ensure that the Arcos® par Puca® maintains its intense luster through complex jewelry assemblies. These crescent-shaped components feature three parallel 0.8 mm holes, engineered with high technical tolerances to allow for precise alignment in multi-hole beadweaving projects. The structural consistency of this Czech pressed glass ensures that each 5x10mm bead integrates perfectly into geometric patterns, making them indispensable for creating curved borders or architectural beadwork.

Full Capri Gold is a sophisticated metallic coating that reflects light with the depth of polished metal, offering a luxurious aesthetic for handmade jewelry. As part of the Les Perles par Puca® collection, these beads were designed by French artist Annick Puca to exist within a modular system. They are specifically shaped to complement other elements like Samos® par Puca®, allowing designers to build intricate, lace-like textures where different shapes lock together with mathematical precision.

Intricate framing is one of the primary functions of this arched silhouette, as it is designed to nestle perfectly around circular focal points. The Arcos® par Puca® works exceptionally well as a decorative border for a Cabochon® par Puca®, creating a professional finish that hides thread paths while adding sculptural volume. Beautifully complements deep jewel tones like sapphire or emerald Preciosa seed beads, which highlight the warm copper-gold glow of the metallic surface.

For best results in advanced beadweaving, we recommend using S-lon FIRE thread with beading needles size 10-12 to facilitate multiple thread passes through the bead. The three-hole system allows for complex engineering in bracelets and necklaces, providing stability that single-hole beads cannot achieve. By utilizing the French design heritage and Czech glassmaking tradition inherent in the Arcos® par Puca®, artisans can create high-end, durable pieces that maintain their shape and finish over time.
