Khéops® by Puca® N. 56 - Opaque Sapphire

Opaque Sapphire provides a bold and saturated foundation for geometric jewelry designs requiring extreme precision and structural integrity. These Khéops® par Puca® beads are manufactured in the Czech Republic from high-quality pressed glass, featuring a distinctive triangular shape with two parallel 0.8 mm holes. The exact 6 x 6 mm dimensions allow for tight tolerances in bead weaving, ensuring that complex tessellated patterns remain stable, symmetrical, and professional in appearance.

Craftsmanship is the hallmark of the Les Perles par Puca® collection, which masterfully combines French artistic vision with traditional Czech glassmaking heritage. Designer Annick Puca specifically engineered these 2-hole triangle beads to be part of a larger, interconnected ecosystem of shapes. This rich blue variant pairs seamlessly with Amos® par Puca® or Arcos® par Puca® elements to create intricate, lace-like structures and architectural jewelry pieces.

Professional beaders will appreciate the smooth, glossy surface and consistent hole alignment of these Czech glass beads, which facilitate multiple thread passes through the bead without risk of internal friction or thread damage. For a striking contrast, pair with vibrant orange hyacinth accents, or create a harmonious gradient with medium blue components and silver spacers. The durable Opaque Sapphire finish is highly resistant to surface wear, making it an excellent choice for everyday statement pieces such as structured bracelets or geometric pendants.

Utilizing these shapes in your beadwork allows for the implementation of advanced jewelry patterns and tutorials specifically designed for the Puca system. The multi-hole architecture is ideal for creating three-dimensional forms that standard seed beads cannot easily achieve. To ensure the highest level of stability in your weaving, we recommend using high-tenacity S-lon FIRE polyethylene thread or N-series nylon threads combined with classic beading needles size 10-12.
