Cabochon par Puca® N. 13 - Opaque Blue/Green Spotted

Centuries of glassmaking heritage from the Crystal Valley of Northern Bohemia are captured in every Cabochon® par Puca® No. 13. This exquisite 25mm glass cabochon represents the pinnacle of the collaboration between French jewelry artist Annick Puca and traditional Czech craftsmen. The mottled blue and earthy brown surface mimics the natural complexity of semi-precious stones, providing a high-end look for artisan jewelry. Each piece is meticulously pressed to ensure a perfectly flat back, making it a reliable foundation for your most ambitious projects.

• Designed in France by Les Perles par Puca® for unique jewelry ecosystems.
• Opaque glass with a sophisticated spotted finish for a natural stone effect.
• Standard 25mm diameter fits most commercial bezel cups and embroidery templates.
• Smooth, domed surface that catches light while maintaining a soft, organic feel.

Bead embroidery enthusiasts often select this large focal stone to anchor complex neckpieces or statement pendants. To create a secure and elegant frame, we recommend using Preciosa seed beads in sizes 10/0 or 11/0 for a classic peyote bezel. For a striking contrast, pair the rich blue tones with jet black accents, or keep the design light and airy with silver and milky opal harmonious shades. The consistency of these Czech glass beads ensures that your beadwork remains symmetrical and professional.

Interlocking various shapes is the core philosophy of the Les Perles par Puca® collection, where this cabochon can be beautifully complemented by Samos® par Puca® beads used as a structural frame. For best results in your beadweaving, use a high-strength S-lon FIRE thread and beading needles size 10-12, which allow for multiple thread passes through the surrounding beads without risk of breakage. Whether you are incorporating Amos® par Puca®, Arcos® par Puca®, or Minos® par Puca®, this central cabochon provides the artistic weight needed to balance your entire composition.
