Ios® par Puca® N. 306 - Dark Bronze Mat

Seeking a way to add architectural structure and professional depth to your beadwork without the bulk of larger elements? These slim, rectangular 2-hole beads offer the perfect solution for creating precise geometric patterns and sleek, modern jewelry designs. The matte dark bronze finish provides a sophisticated, non-reflective surface that acts as a grounding element in complex compositions, ensuring your woven pieces maintain a high-end aesthetic. Because they are Czech pressed glass, you can rely on consistent sizing and hole placement for even the most intricate projects.

Born from the creative vision of French artist Annick Puca and the world-renowned Czech glassmaking tradition, this shape is part of the innovative Les Perles par Puca® system. The unique 2.5 x 5.5 mm dimensions of Ios® par Puca® are specifically engineered to interlock seamlessly with other shapes in the collection, such as Amos® par Puca® or Arcos® par Puca®. This interconnectivity allows you to follow complex French jewelry patterns or develop your own unique textures with absolute geometric precision.

Glass bead weaving enthusiasts will appreciate how the dual 0.8 mm holes allow for multiple thread passes through the bead, making them ideal for secure, multi-layered bracelets and structural necklaces. For a striking contrast, pair with light aqua or aquamarine tones to make the deep bronze hues pop, or use gold accents for a timeless, luxurious feel. Whether you are a beginner following a tutorial or an expert designer, these versatile 2-hole glass beads bring a touch of Parisian elegance and reliable Czech quality to every handmade jewelry project.
