Cabochon par Puca® N. 30 - Opaque Jonquiltweedy

Centuries of glassmaking expertise in the Crystal Valley region of the Czech Republic meet the refined aesthetics of Parisian jewelry design in this exquisite collection. This legacy of craftsmanship ensures that every piece of pressed glass is manufactured with precision, offering artisans a canvas of heritage and quality for their most intricate projects. The tradition of Bohemian glass remains the gold standard for jewelry designers who seek durability and depth in their work.

Yellow tones and artistic splashes define this 18mm Cabochon® par Puca®, featuring the unique Opaque Jonquil Tweedy finish. Designed by the renowned French artist Annick Puca for Les Perles par Puca®, this focal bead features a smooth, domed surface adorned with metallic silver and copper-orange speckles. These Czech glass cabochons serve as the perfect centerpieces for bead embroidery or elaborate bead-weaving layouts, providing a pop of sunny color with an artisan, painterly texture.

Architectural jewelry designs come to life when you combine these focal points with other shapes from the collection, as Arcos® par Puca® were specifically designed to frame these 18mm cabochons seamlessly. For a striking contrast, pair this Jonquil Yellow with deep shades like dark sapphire or midnight blue, or create a harmonious spring palette by adding peridot green accents. These beads are engineered to work together with other French-designed shapes like Amos® par Puca® and Minos® par Puca® to create complex, geometric masterpieces.

Mastering professional beadwork requires the right tension and tools, especially when creating custom bezels for such a significant component. For best results, we recommend using S-lon FIRE thread with beading needles size 10-12 to ensure multiple thread passes through the surrounding structural beads. Whether you are using Matubo SuperDuo beads to build a sturdy frame or stitching into felt for bead embroidery, this cabochon provides a stable and stunning foundation for your creativity.
