Athos® par Puca® N. 60 - Jet

This opaque jet black finish provides a deep, light-absorbing surface on the Athos® par Puca® beads, ensuring a sophisticated foundation for high-end jewelry. These 3-hole glass beads are engineered with precise tolerances to allow for intricate geometric stacking and structural stability in complex weaving patterns. The triple-hole alignment is perfectly centered, facilitating seamless integration with other shapes like Amos® par Puca® to create architectural jewelry designs.

Utilizing traditional Czech glassmaking techniques combined with modern French design heritage, each bead exhibits a high-gloss finish and exceptional color consistency. The Czech glass beads are pressed with uniform edges, ensuring that when multiple pieces are joined, there is no unwanted gapping or thread exposure. This professional-grade material is resistant to fading and maintains its sleek appearance throughout the life of the finished jewelry piece.

For a striking contrast, pair with bright gold or silver metallics to emphasize the obsidian-like depth of the jet black glass. These versatile components are ideal for creating bold focal points in necklaces or unique structural elements in earrings. They pair beautifully with Arcos® par Puca®, allowing artists to build multi-dimensional layers and textures that are not possible with standard single-hole beads.

Advanced beaders will find that these beads support multiple thread passes through the bead when using specialized S-lon FIRE or N-series nylon threads. The generous hole diameter accommodates beading needles size 10-12, making them suitable for intricate bead weaving styles like peyote or contemporary sculptural beadwork.
