Baros® par Puca® N. 4 - Jet Ab Mat

Deep matte jet black tones meet the mystical glow of an Aurora Borealis coating in these exquisite Czech glass beads. Produced in the heart of Northern Bohemia, these beads represent a centuries-old Czech glassmaking tradition refined for modern artists through French design. The unique faceted barrel shape offers a velvety texture that absorbs light while reflecting subtle teal and purple iridescent flashes, making them a standout choice for jewelry making.

French artist Annick Puca designed the Baros® par Puca® line to provide a versatile single-hole element for intricate bead weaving. These pressed glass beads are engineered with a precision 0.8 mm hole size, which comfortably allows for multiple thread passes through the bead when using high-quality S-lon FIRE or nylon beading threads. The geometric facets provide a structured, architectural look that is perfect for professional-grade necklaces and bracelets.

Creative synergy defines the entire Les Perles par Puca® collection, as these beads are intentionally scaled to fit alongside other shapes such as Arcos® par Puca® or Delos® par Puca®. For a striking contrast, pair with shimmering gold accents or keep the palette sophisticated by mixing them with hematite-colored seed beads. Their 5 x 6 mm profile acts as a perfect spacer or focal point in complex geometric patterns and circular motifs.

Designers often use these matte elements to ground more vibrant components in needlework and embroidery. Whether you are following a specific jewelry pattern or experimenting with your own freeform designs, the Baros® par Puca® adds an air of Parisian elegance to any piece. These beads work harmoniously with Amos® par Puca® to create dimensional jewelry that bridges the gap between traditional craft and contemporary fashion.
