Ilos® par Puca® N. 48 - Rose Opal Bronze

Precision-engineered triangular shapes define the Ilos® par Puca® collection, offering jewelry designers a unique geometric profile with rounded edges. These Czech glass beads are manufactured to exacting tolerances, ensuring consistent hole placement and smooth edges that prevent thread abrasion during complex bead weaving projects. The 0.8 mm hole is perfectly centered, allowing for reliable structural integrity in multi-layered designs where precision is paramount.

The Rose Opal Bronze finish provides a sophisticated, mottled aesthetic that bridges the gap between vintage charm and modern elegance. As part of the Les Perles par Puca® system, these beads feature a high-quality glass base with a durable luster that withstands daily wear. The subtle translucency of the opal glass is beautifully enhanced by the metallic bronze accents, making them a standout choice for high-end artisan jewelry and bespoke accessories.

• Symmetrical triangular shape with soft rounded vertices
• Designer-led French heritage by artist Annick Puca
• Seamless compatibility with the entire Puca® range of shapes
• Exceptional hole consistency for professional jewelry results

Design possibilities expand exponentially when these components are integrated with other shapes from the collection, as they are specifically created to nestle against one another without gaps. They pair beautifully with Amos® par Puca® or the curved geometry of Arcos® par Puca® to create intricate floral or architectural patterns. Because of their uniform 5x5 mm size, they are ideal for creating structural jewelry that requires precise spacing and alignment.

For a striking contrast that highlights the metallic depth of this finish, beautifully complements these beads with deep turquoise or rich teal accents. For best results in tight-tension work, we recommend using S-lon FIRE or the nylon N-series threads, which provide the necessary strength for intricate patterns. When combined with beading needles size 10-12, these threads glide easily through the central hole even during multiple thread passes through the bead.

Professionals and advanced hobbyists can explore numerous free patterns and tutorials available for the Les Perles par Puca® line to master new techniques. Whether used as a focal point or a geometric spacer, these 5x5 mm beads maintain their luster and structural integrity over time. The combination of French designer vision and traditional Czech glassmaking expertise ensures a premium component for any heirloom-quality piece.
