Ilos® par Puca® N. 43 - Opaque Grey Tweedy

A rounded triangular profile and precise 5 x 5 mm dimensions define Ilos® par Puca® as a core component for structural beadwork. These Czech glass beads exhibit exceptional dimensional stability and smooth edges, which is critical for complex weaving where multiple units must sit perfectly flush. The 0.8 mm hole is centered with high tolerance to ensure consistent thread passage even in dense, multi-layered jewelry designs.

• Geometric 5x5mm triangle shape for architectural jewelry designs.
• Seamless compatibility with the entire Les Perles par Puca® system.
• High-quality Czech glass with a unique mottled Tweedy finish.
• Generous 0.8 mm hole for versatile threading options.

Conceived by the renowned French designer Annick Puca, these beads bridge the gap between Parisian style and traditional Czech glassmaking. The Opaque Grey Tweedy finish offers a sophisticated, textured look with copper-toned metallic speckles that catch the light unexpectedly. For a striking contrast, pair with siam red beads or use silver accents for a harmonious, monochromatic look.

The flat surface of the Ilos® shape allows it to sit perfectly against other Les Perles par Puca® shapes. It pairs beautifully with Amos® par Puca® or Arcos® par Puca® to create intricate 3D shapes, floral motifs, or complex geometric patterns. Professional beaders value how these shapes complement each other to form seamless, lace-like structures.

For best results in your jewelry making, we recommend using S-lon FIRE for maximum strength and durability in structural pieces, or S-lon thread for projects requiring more drape. When executing multiple thread passes through the bead, utilize beading needles size 10-12 to navigate the 0.8 mm hole efficiently. These beads are an essential component for any artisan looking to explore advanced Puca tutorials and designer patterns.
