Arcos® par Puca® N. 130 - Crystal

The centuries-old legacy of Bohemian glassmaking finds a modern artistic voice through the collaboration between French designer Annick Puca and skilled Czech artisans. This crystal clear finish reflects a tradition of purity and precision, bringing a timeless elegance to the world of glass bead weaving. These high-quality Czech glass beads are manufactured with the utmost care to ensure consistency in every batch, making them a staple for professional jewelry designers.

Shaping your designs with the distinctive crescent silhouette of Arcos® par Puca® allows for intricate architectural patterns that standard beads cannot achieve. Their unique three-hole configuration makes them ideal for creating elegant curved borders and structural focal points. These beads serve as a perfect arched framing for a Cabochon® par Puca®, creating a professional, bezel-like appearance in your handmade jewelry pieces.

• Precision-engineered three-hole design for structural stability
• Elegant crystal transparency that suits any color palette
• Seamlessly compatible with the entire Les Perles par Puca® range
• Durable Czech glass construction with a high-gloss finish

Achieving the best structural integrity in your work is essential when working with multi-hole components. We recommend S-lon thread, specifically S-lon FIRE for maximum strength, to ensure the thread remains secure through the 0.8 mm holes. Use with beading needles size 10-12 to allow for multiple thread passes through the bead without strain. For a striking contrast, pair with dark sapphire or deep emerald tones.

Innovative Arcos® par Puca® beads are specifically designed to interlock with other shapes in the collection, such as Amos® par Puca®, Minos® par Puca®, or Delos® par Puca®. By integrating Preciosa seed beads (sizes 8/0 or 10/0) as fill in these patterns, you can create dense, lace-like textures in necklaces and bracelets. Beautifully complements white opal or milky tones for a soft, bridal aesthetic.
