Cabochon par Puca® N. 34 - Opaque Hyacinth Bronze

Glassmaking heritage in the Crystal Valley of the Czech Republic provides the foundation for these exquisite components, where traditional techniques meet contemporary French flair. This Cabochon® par Puca® is a testament to that collaboration, offering a smooth, domed surface that serves as a brilliant focal point for your artistry. Designed by the renowned Annick Puca, these 18mm glass cabochons are essential for creators who value precision and the unique aesthetic of European glasswork.

Orange hyacinth tones are beautifully tempered by a rich, mottled bronze finish, giving the piece a warm, autumnal glow that works perfectly in statement necklaces. Many designers choose Samos® par Puca® beads to create a sophisticated circular frame around the stone, as their curved shape is specifically engineered to nestle against these round cabochons. The opaque nature of the glass ensures that the vibrant color remains consistent and bold regardless of the backing material used.

For best results in your weaving projects, we recommend using S-lon FIRE thread and beading needles size 10-12, which allow for the multiple thread passes through the surrounding beads required for a secure bezel. You can also incorporate Matubo SuperDuo beads to build out a textured architectural border that emphasizes the size and luster of the central cabochon. Using a strong polyethylene thread ensures that your intricate beadwork maintains its tension over time.

Bead embroidery enthusiasts will find that this piece pairs exceptionally well with a variety of other shapes in the collection, such as Amos® par Puca® or Arcos® par Puca®, allowing for limitless geometric creativity. For a striking contrast, pair with deep cobalt blue accents, or maintain a harmonious warmth by using gold-toned seed beads. Because all Les Perles par Puca® components are designed to interact, they provide a cohesive system for building complex, professional-grade jewelry designs.
