Delos® par Puca® N. 34 - Metallic Mat Blue

Precision-engineered geometry defines the Delos® par Puca® bead, a unique three-hole component specifically developed for high-end bead weaving. Measuring 6 x 11 mm, these beads feature three parallel holes with a consistent 0.8 mm diameter, ensuring high tolerances for complex thread paths. The Metallic Mat Blue finish provides a sophisticated, non-reflective luster that emphasizes the architectural lines of the shape.

Crafted in the Czech Republic using traditional pressed glass techniques, these beads are born from the creative vision of French designer Annick Puca. The marriage of French design heritage and Bohemian glassmaking expertise results in a component that is as functional as it is aesthetic. The matte metallic surface is particularly durable, resisting friction and maintaining its deep blue hue throughout the life of the jewelry piece.

• Consistent triple-hole alignment for structural integrity in patterns.
• Elegant wing-like profile ideal for decorative borders and geometric jewelry.
• Professional-grade glass material with a premium matte metallic finish.
• Seamless integration with the entire Les Perles par Puca® ecosystem.

Inter-compatibility is at the heart of the Les Perles par Puca® system. This specific shape is engineered to nest perfectly with other members of the family, such as the petal-shaped Amos® par Puca® or the curved Arcos® par Puca®. This allows designers to create seamless, fabric-like textures without visible gaps between the glass elements.

For best results in structural projects, we recommend using S-lon FIRE polyethylene thread. This material offers maximum strength and minimal stretch, which is vital when working with multi-hole beads like Delos® par Puca®. When pairing these beads with beading needles size 10-12, remember to account for the total diameter of the needle plus the doubled thread to ensure smooth multiple thread passes through the bead holes.

Designing with a palette of blues allows for versatile tonal variations. For a striking contrast, pair with orange hyacinth tones, or maintain a harmonious look by combining these with cobalt blue or neutral crystal clear accents. The matte finish of the Delos® beads provides an excellent counterpoint to glossy or iridescent seed beads from Preciosa or Miyuki.

Advanced beading techniques such as the creation of medallions or intricate bangles benefit greatly from the stability of the Delos® par Puca® shape. Because they are part of a curated collection, you can find numerous professional patterns and tutorials that demonstrate how to utilize these Czech glass beads to their full potential. They are essential for any designer looking to achieve a professional finish.
