Konos® par Puca® N. 11 - Metallic Mat Beige

A 2x4 mm frustum-shaped geometry defines the Konos® par Puca® bead, offering high precision for structural bead weaving and architectural jewelry. These Czech pressed glass beads feature a consistent 0.8 mm hole, ensuring smooth thread passage for intricate patterns. Designed by French artist Annick Puca, their unique conical shape is engineered to nestle perfectly within complex designs, particularly when paired with the elegant curves of Arcos® par Puca® or the elongated profile of Delos® par Puca®.

The Metallic Mat Beige finish provides a sophisticated, non-reflective sheen that mimics the appearance of weathered precious metals. This specific coating (color code 23980-79080) is applied to premium Czech glass, known for its durability and uniform color saturation. This neutral metallic tone beautifully complements harmonious shades like dark bronze or provides a subtle base for contrasting crystal clear accents. The manufacturing process maintains tight tolerances, making them reliable for professionals who require geometric stability in three-dimensional jewelry components.

For best results in advanced beadwork, we recommend using S-lon FIRE polyethylene thread to maintain high tension without risk of fraying, ideally paired with beading needles size 10-12. The 0.8 mm hole size comfortably allows for multiple thread passes through the bead, which is essential for stabilizing circular peyote or cubic right-angle weave (CRAW) structures. Since all components in the Les Perles par Puca® system are designed to be interchangeable, these beads act as versatile spacers or decorative caps that bridge the gap between French artistic flair and traditional Czech glassmaking excellence.
