Athos® par Puca® N. 71 - Opaque Light Green Ceramic Look

Precision-engineered dimensions of 20x10x6 mm define the Athos® par Puca®, a distinctive three-hole bead that offers unparalleled structural stability in complex beadweaving. This unique shape, featuring a flat base and a gently curved dome, is manufactured from premium Czech glass to ensure consistent hole alignment and smooth edges. The three parallel channels allow for sophisticated geometric builds, providing a sturdy foundation for architectural jewelry designs that require precise spacing and secure anchoring.

High-quality glass craftsmanship meets a refined ceramic look in this Opaque Light Green variety, offering a sophisticated aesthetic with subtle textural depth. These beads are part of the exclusive collection from Les Perles par Puca®, designed by the renowned French artist Annick Puca. Each piece undergoes rigorous quality control to guarantee that multiple thread passes through the bead remain fluid and snag-free, a critical requirement for professional-grade artistic projects and high-end boutique jewelry pieces.

Connectivity remains at the heart of the Puca system, as the Athos® par Puca® is meticulously designed to integrate with other shapes in the range. It pairs beautifully with Amos® par Puca® and Arcos® par Puca®, allowing creators to bridge gaps and create seamless transitions between different bead geometries. This interoperability ensures that designers can follow intricate French patterns or develop original motifs while maintaining a professional finish.

Beautifully complements yellow topaz or gold accents to enhance the soft, natural tones of the ceramic-look surface. For a striking contrast, pair with fuchsia or hot pink size 11/0 seed beads to create a vibrant, contemporary palette that draws attention to the unique three-dimensional profile of the bead.

Advanced beading techniques like three-dimensional sculptural weaving or elaborate necklace focal points benefit significantly from the substantial profile of this 20mm bead. When working with S-lon FIRE or nylon N-series threads, the Athos® par Puca® provides a reliable anchor point that maintains its position within the weave without slipping. Its unique silhouette is ideal for creating stylized floral petals or structural scales in jewelry layouts, bridging the gap between traditional Czech glassmaking and modern French design elegance.
