Ilos® par Puca® N. 5 - Dark Bronze

Dark bronze metallic finishes on these triangular shapes provide a sophisticated industrial aesthetic for high-end beadwork. The Ilos® par Puca® beads feature a precise 5x5mm footprint and a consistent 0.8mm hole, ensuring they integrate seamlessly into complex geometric patterns. These Czech glass beads are engineered with tight tolerances to allow for multiple thread passes through the bead without risk of fracture, making them a staple for professional jewelry making projects.

French designer Annick Puca created this unique shape to harmonize with the entire Les Perles par Puca® ecosystem. The metallic luster of the Dark Bronze finish is achieved through traditional Czech glassmaking techniques, resulting in a durable surface that withstands the friction of bead weaving. These beads pair beautifully with Amos® par Puca® or Arcos® par Puca® to create intricate 3D structures and necklaces.

Beautifully complements warm copper tones or creates a striking contrast when used alongside light aqua or aquamarine accents. This specific shade of Dark Bronze acts as a rich neutral that bridges the gap between classic gold and earthy copper palettes in professional Czech glass designs.

Advanced stitchers can utilize the rounded triangular profile to create curved edges in peyote or brick stitch projects. Because they are designed to be multi-functional, they are frequently featured in exclusive Puca patterns and beading tutorials. For the best structural integrity in woven jewelry, we recommend using S-lon FIRE polyethylene thread, which offers the strength needed for tight tension when working with metallic-coated Les Perles par Puca® elements.
