Cabochon par Puca® N. 157 - Jet Hematite

Achieving a perfectly centered focal point in complex beadwork often depends on the quality of your components, and this 14mm glass cabochon offers the ideal solution. As part of the prestigious Les Perles par Puca® collection, it is meticulously crafted from premium Czech pressed glass to provide a flawless, smooth surface that resists wear and retains its luster. The sophisticated Jet Hematite finish provides a dark gunmetal sheen, making it an essential component for artists seeking to add a professional metallic depth to their bead weaving and bead embroidery projects.

• Designed in France by beading artist Annick Puca for the ultimate creative freedom.
• Precision-pressed from high-quality glass to ensure consistency in size and shape.
• Specifically developed to work in a modular system with other par Puca® bead shapes.
• Ideal for both advanced jewelry making and beginner-friendly bezel patterns.

Finding the right frame for your centerpiece is effortless when using the Samos® par Puca® beads, which were specifically created to act as a stylish architectural frame for these cabochons. For a striking contrast in your next necklace or brooch, pair this dark metallic finish with vibrant siam red, or beautifully complement it with dark bronze for a rich, vintage-inspired look. These cabochons are part of a larger ecosystem where shapes like Arcos® par Puca® and Minos® par Puca® work in harmony to allow for geometric precision in every design.

Creating classic bezels using the traditional circular peyote stitch or using Matubo SuperDuo beads as a versatile framing alternative allows for endless creative variety. While these cabochons are perfect for traditional beadwork, they are also an excellent choice for jewelry wire ornaments and wire-wrapped pendants where a flat back is required for stability. For best results when securing your work, we recommend using a high-quality thread like S-lon FIRE and a beading needle size 10-12 to ensure multiple thread passes through the surrounding beads remain smooth and secure.
