Cabochon par Puca® N. 176 - Bronze Red Mat

Matte bronze red tones provide a sophisticated depth to these 14 mm round glass components, which are engineered with the strict dimensional tolerances required by master beadsmiths. These Czech glass cabochons feature a flat back and a smooth, domed surface, making them ideal for precision-based bezeling techniques where consistency is paramount. Designed by French artist Annick Puca, they embody the fusion of contemporary European style and traditional glassmaking expertise, ensuring a professional finish for any high-end project.

High-quality Les Perles par Puca® elements are specifically crafted to integrate seamlessly within the Puca bead ecosystem, allowing for complex geometric structures. You can easily create a secure and elegant bezel by using Samos® par Puca® as framing for cabochons. This system-based design approach ensures that every curve of the 14 mm cabochon aligns perfectly with other shapes like Arcos® par Puca® or Minos® par Puca®, facilitating flawless component stacking.

Professional beaders will appreciate the smooth surface finish that reduces friction against delicate fibers during the construction of complex jewelry patterns. For the most durable results in bead embroidery or weaving, we recommend using S-lon FIRE thread, which offers the high tensile strength needed to hold larger 14 mm glass pieces in place through multiple thread passes through the surrounding beads. Another excellent option for decorative borders is using Matubo SuperDuo beads as framing for cabochon designs, providing a versatile structural foundation.

Bronze Red Mat finishes offer a versatile palette for high-end boutique jewelry, lending an antique feel to modern motifs. Beautifully complements copper or crystal clear tones for a harmonious look, while pairing with turquoise creates a striking, vibrant contrast. Whether you are working on a peyote-stitched pendant or an intricate beaded bracelet, these pressed glass beads provide the reliable quality and unique aesthetic required for heirloom-quality creations.
