Khéops® by Puca® N. 33 - Jet Hematite

Architectural precision and geometric silhouettes remain at the forefront of contemporary jewelry trends, making these triangular glass beads a vital component for any modern designer. This Jet Hematite finish offers a sophisticated, metallic gunmetal sheen that provides a deeper, more reflective alternative to standard opaque black. By utilizing the 6 x 6 mm equilateral shape, you can create intricate, mosaic-like surfaces that maintain a clean, professional aesthetic in both delicate earrings and bold statement necklaces.

Originating from the creative vision of French artist Annick Puca, the Khéops® par Puca® collection represents a perfect marriage of Parisian design and Czech glassmaking tradition. These 2-hole beads are specifically engineered to interact with the entire Puca system, allowing them to nestle perfectly alongside Amos® par Puca® or create fluid curves when combined with Arcos® par Puca®. This modular design philosophy empowers makers to follow professional patterns or develop their own unique bead weaving structures with mathematical accuracy.

Darker palettes gain incredible visual depth when you introduce textures that play with shadow and light like this metallic finish does. For a striking contrast, pair with vibrant Siam Red Preciosa seed beads to create a classic high-jewelry look, or beautifully complements gold accents for a luxurious, evening-ready accessory. The neutral yet bold nature of the Jet Hematite color ensures it works as both a primary focal point and a grounding element in multi-colored geometric compositions.

Technical success in complex weaving projects relies heavily on selecting the right foundations for your Czech glass beads. For best results, we recommend using S-lon thread, particularly the S-lon FIRE variant for its exceptional strength and minimal stretch, which is essential for maintaining the tension of 2-hole beadwork. When working with beading needles size 10-12, the 0.8 mm holes allow for multiple thread passes through the bead, giving you the freedom to reinforce your joins without compromising the delicate profile of your jewelry design.
