Athos® par Puca® N. 11 - Yellow Gold Metallic Iris

Gold and purple hues shimmer across a smooth, pebble-like surface, offering a regal centerpiece for your next high-fashion jewelry project. These uniquely shaped, hole-less elements bring a sophisticated French touch to bead embroidery and soutache, allowing the designer to focus on the interplay of light and texture without the distraction of visible holes. By utilizing glue-on techniques or custom bezel settings, Athos® par Puca® cabochons invite you to create seamless, professional-grade statements that capture the essence of artisanal luxury.

Handcrafted in the heart of the Czech Republic using traditional glassmaking techniques, this designer cabochon belongs to a versatile ecosystem where shapes like Arcos® par Puca® and Amos® par Puca® are meticulously designed to nestle and interlock. The Yellow Gold Metallic Iris finish displays a captivating color shift that beautifully complements harmonious orange hyacinth tones or provides a striking contrast when paired with amethyst purple accents. As part of the exclusive Les Perles par Puca® collection, these beads embody a modern aesthetic while honoring a rich heritage of European craftsmanship.

For best results when building structural frameworks around these smooth elements, we recommend using Nymo thread or the exceptionally strong S-lon FIRE with beading needles size 10-12 to ensure precise control over your stitch work. Whether you are following one of Annick Puca’s acclaimed patterns or venturing into your own original designs, these premium Czech glass beads provide the perfect foundation for jewelry that feels both timeless and innovative. Their smooth, domed profile is perfect for creating layered textures in intricate bead weaving projects.
