Cabochon par Puca® N. 6 - Opaque Blue/Green Spotted

Precise 18 mm dimensions define this round glass cabochon, engineered with the consistent curvature and height required for professional jewelry architecture. The flat back allows for secure placement in metal settings or adhesive-based applications, while the smooth surface ensures thread safety during intricate embroidery. This component acts as a versatile focal point for various beadwork techniques.

Pressed from premium Czech glass, this component represents the fusion of French artistic vision and centuries-old Bohemian glassmaking tradition. The material density provides a substantial feel without adding excessive weight to finished earrings or pendants. Each Cabochon® par Puca® is manufactured to strict tolerances, ensuring that multiple pieces in a single design remain uniform.

Professional beaders often select Preciosa seed beads in sizes 10/0 or 11/0 to create a custom woven bezel around the 18 mm diameter. This technique secures the stone while adding decorative texture to the perimeter of the piece. Because the glass is opaque, the bead colors remain vibrant and consistent regardless of the backing material used.

• Calibrated 18 mm diameter for uniform fit in standard jewelry findings.
• High-durability Czech glass resistant to surface abrasion and chemical cleaning.
• Designed by French artist Annick Puca specifically for the Les Perles par Puca® system.
• Smooth back surface for optimal adhesion in mixed media or soutache projects.

Designing complex geometric shapes is simplified by the intentional compatibility between these cabochons and other beads in the range, such as Samos® par Puca®, which provide a perfect structural frame. This system allows for the seamless integration of Amos® par Puca®, Arcos® par Puca®, and Minos® par Puca® shapes into cohesive, sophisticated patterns that look like fine jewelry.

The Opaque Blue/Green Spotted finish offers a natural, stone-like aesthetic with earthy mottling that mimics semi-precious jasper or artisan ceramics. For a striking contrast, pair with jet black accents, or maintain a soft, organic look by combining this piece with ivory or cream elements. This specific color code provides a vintage, rustic feel that pairs beautifully with antique bronze or silver findings.

Ideal for bead embroidery, soutache, and macramé, these cabochons serve as an excellent focal point for statement jewelry. Detailed patterns and tutorials provided by the designer help enthusiasts master the art of combining various Puca shapes into professional-grade wearable art. Whether used in a simple pendant or a complex woven collar, these glass elements provide a high-end finish to any handmade project.
