Hélios® par Puca® N. 20 - Metallic Mat Dark Plum

Metallic finishes in muted tones like this matte plum are currently dominating high-end artisanal jewelry, offering a sophisticated alternative to high-shine surfaces. These triangular, two-hole Hélios® par Puca® beads feature a unique wing-like silhouette that allows designers to create interlocking geometric patterns or floral-inspired motifs with ease. The French design by Annick Puca ensures that these premium Czech glass beads sit perfectly within a larger jewelry ecosystem, providing both structural stability and an elegant aesthetic.

Meticulously manufactured in the Czech Republic, the quality of these pressed glass components is evident in their consistent sizing and smooth 0.8 mm holes, which accommodate multiple thread passes through the bead. Because they belong to the Les Perles par Puca® collection, they are specifically engineered to integrate with other shapes like Arcos® par Puca® or Delos® par Puca®. This interconnection allows for the creation of complex, multi-dimensional necklaces and bracelets where the various shapes nestle together like a jigsaw puzzle.

Soft violet tones pair exceptionally well with antique bronze or rose gold finishes for a vintage-inspired look, or with cool silver for a more modern, industrial edge. Try incorporating them into a circular pendant design or as a decorative edge on a cuff bracelet using beading needles size 10-12 and strong S-lon FIRE thread. Whether you are following professional tutorials or experimenting with your own freeform designs, these metallic matte components provide the professional finish required for boutique-quality jewelry projects.
