Athos® par Puca® N. 7 - Copper Gold Mat

Achieving a seamless, professional look in bead embroidery often feels impossible when visible holes disrupt the flow of your design. These holeless glass beads provide the perfect solution, offering a smooth, uninterrupted surface that acts as a stunning focal point. By using the Athos® par Puca® cabochon, you can create sophisticated textures without the technical limitations of traditional drilled beads, ensuring a cleaner aesthetic for your high-end projects.

Designed by the renowned French artist Annick Puca, these Czech glass beads embody a unique blend of Parisian elegance and legendary glassmaking tradition. The Athos® par Puca® shape features a sleek, elongated profile that measures 20x10x6 mm, making it an ideal size for central elements in pendants or statement earrings. They are specifically crafted to integrate with the entire Puca system, allowing you to build complex geometry alongside Arcos® par Puca® or Delos® par Puca® elements.

The COPPER GOLD MAT finish brings a luxurious, warm glow to your palette that feels both modern and timeless. Beautifully complements turquoise for a vibrant southwestern flair, or pairs with bronze for a cohesive, monochromatic metallic look. This matte texture catches the light softly, ensuring your finished piece looks sophisticated and handcrafted rather than overly industrial.

Because these elements lack holes, they are exceptionally versatile for mixed media and non-traditional assembly. For best results when securing these pieces in a bezel or frame, we recommend using high-quality jewelry wire for intricate wrapping techniques. This method allows you to trap the cabochon securely while adding decorative metallic flourishes to your jewelry making project, perfect for creating one-of-a-kind ornaments.

Whether you are a beginner exploring the world of Les Perles par Puca® or an advanced artist, these beads offer endless creative possibilities. Numerous patterns and tutorials are available to help you master the art of bezeling these unique shapes with seed beads. By combining the Athos® par Puca® with other shapes like Amos® par Puca®, you can achieve the iconic Puca style that is celebrated worldwide for its interconnected and architectural beauty.
