Cabochon par Puca N. 398 (18mm) - White Light Mat

Chalk white matte finishes offer a sophisticated, non-reflective base that anchors complex jewelry designs without competing for attention. This 18mm round glass cabochon is an essential component for artists who struggle to find consistent, high-quality focal points for their bead embroidery or soutache projects. By using these calibrated Czech glass elements, you ensure that your bezels fit perfectly every time, especially when using high-quality Preciosa seed beads to secure the stone.

French design heritage meets centuries of Czech glassmaking tradition in this exclusive collection from Les Perles par Puca®. Created by designer Annick Puca, these cabochons are part of a unique interconnected system where different shapes like Amos® par Puca®, Arcos® par Puca®, and Minos® par Puca® are specifically engineered to fit together. This geometric harmony allows you to build intricate, professional-grade jewelry patterns that look like complex metalwork but are achieved through clever bead weaving.

A striking contrast can be achieved by pairing this matte white surface with jet black beads for a timeless monochrome look, or you can beautifully complement the finish with white opal and silver accents for a bridal-inspired palette. The matte finish provides a modern, velvet-like texture that diffuses light softly, making it a versatile choice for both contemporary minimalist jewelry and elaborate bohemian statement pieces.

Beadweaving enthusiasts will find that this 18mm cabochon serves as the perfect centerpiece for mandalas and floral motifs. You can easily frame this element using Samos® par Puca® beads, which are designed to curve elegantly around the circular edge. Whether you are creating a custom pendant or a pair of symmetrical earrings, the structural integrity of Les Perles par Puca® ensures your finished handmade jewelry remains durable and aesthetically balanced.
