Khéops® by Puca® N. 18 - California Violet

High-precision triangular glass beads are essential for achieving geometric perfection in sophisticated bead weaving projects. Khéops® par Puca® components feature a unique two-hole design with a consistent 0.8 mm hole size, allowing for complex thread pathways and professional-grade stability. These Czech pressed glass beads are manufactured to strict tolerances, ensuring that each 6x6 mm triangle sits perfectly flush within intricate patterns. The metallic iris finish provides a luxurious California Violet hue that shifts beautifully between deep purple and burnished gold depending on the light. Beautifully complements dark sapphire tones or creates a striking contrast when paired with jet black accents.

Originating from the creative vision of French artist Annick Puca, these beads represent a perfect marriage between French design heritage and Czech glassmaking tradition. The Les Perles par Puca® collection is specifically engineered so that different geometric shapes like Amos® par Puca® or Arcos® par Puca® nestle together seamlessly to create high-end jewelry. By utilizing these specialized shapes, designers can access a vast library of patterns and tutorials created specifically for the Puca bead system.

Creating architectural jewelry requires reliable tension and premium materials to ensure the longevity of the piece. For best results with these two-hole beads, we recommend using S-lon FIRE for maximum strength or nylon beading threads (N1–N5), which should be used with beading needles size 10-12. These needles are thin enough to allow multiple thread passes through the bead while maintaining the structural integrity of your jewelry design. The flat triangular profile makes them particularly effective for building 3D structures, mosaic-like textures, and layered dimensions in both statement pendants and structured bracelets.
