Ios® par Puca® N. 316 - Metallic Mat Violet Spotted

Precise 2.5 x 5.5 mm rectangular dimensions make Ios® par Puca® an essential component for structural beadweaving projects. These two-hole Czech glass beads feature parallel drill holes with a diameter of 0.8 mm, ensuring high consistency for complex geometric patterns. The slim profile allows for dense packing and precise alignment, making them perfect for creating rigid bangles or intricate bezels where structural integrity is paramount.

The Metallic Mat Violet Spotted finish offers a sophisticated, stone-like aesthetic with deep purple undertones and metallic speckles that mimic natural minerals. Crafted from high-quality Czech pressed glass, these beads represent the perfect marriage of French artistic vision and traditional Bohemian glassmaking. The matte surface provides a velvety tactile experience while the metallic accents add a subtle, non-reflective shimmer to your handmade jewelry designs.

Designing with the Les Perles par Puca® collection allows for unparalleled creativity, as each shape is engineered to fit into a modular system. You can easily integrate these rectangles with Amos® par Puca® or the curved Arcos® par Puca® to create fluid, professional-grade jewelry. The standardized hole spacing across the entire range allows designers to build 3D shapes and complex textures without worrying about thread misalignment.

Violet tones with a mottled metallic finish provide a rich base for various sophisticated color palettes. For a striking high-contrast look, pair these beads with yellow topaz accents, or create a harmonious, regal theme by combining them with dark sapphire tones. If you prefer a more modern, industrial feel, these violet spotted beads beautifully complement silver components and findings.

Achieving professional results in beadweaving requires the right tools to navigate the dual holes effectively. We recommend using S-lon FIRE or our nylon N-series threads with beading needles size 10-12 for maximum durability and ease of use. This combination allows for multiple thread passes through the bead without compromising the tension, which is vital for advanced peyote or brick stitch techniques that utilize the unique geometry of the Puca system.
