Hélios® par Puca® N. 4 - Argentees/Silver

High-quality Czech glass beads featuring a distinct two-hole design, the Hélios® par Puca® elements are precision-pressed for consistent dimensions of 6 x 10 mm. Professional beaders will appreciate the smooth 0.8 mm hole size, which allows for multiple thread passes through the bead without risk of cracking the material. This specific shape, characterized by its elegant, wing-like contour, offers structural stability in complex geometric patterns and architectural jewelry designs.

Originating from the creative mind of French artist Annick Puca, the Les Perles par Puca® collection bridges the gap between sophisticated French design and time-honored Czech glassmaking tradition. The glass material is manufactured to rigorous standards, ensuring a uniform silver metallic finish that provides a mirror-like shine. These components are specifically engineered to integrate seamlessly with other shapes such as Arcos® par Puca® to create intricate, mosaic-style jewelry.

Advanced bead weaving techniques like peyote stitch, right-angle weave, and custom structural work are elevated by the unique geometry of these two-hole beads. Because they are part of a cohesive ecosystem, they can be stacked or nested with Delos® par Puca® to build three-dimensional textures. The two parallel holes allow for stable connections that keep your designs flat or allow for the creation of complex curves in high-end necklaces and bracelets.

Beautifully complements contrasting palettes like cobalt blue for a striking aesthetic or blends perfectly with grey and crystal clear tones for a sophisticated, monochrome look. The bright silver luster acts as a versatile neutral accent, making it a staple for any jewelry designer's palette when working with metallic themes.

For best results in professional beadwork, we recommend using high-strength S-lon FIRE or nylon beading threads N1–N5 paired with beading needles size 10-12. Considering the cumulative diameter of the needle and the doubled thread, these tools ensure a smooth workflow when navigating the precision-drilled passages. This setup provides the necessary durability for everyday wear while maintaining the delicate, artistic appearance of the finished piece.
