Cabochon par Puca N. 247 (25mm) - Ice Slushy Cherry

High-precision glass pressing techniques define this 25mm glass focal piece, ensuring a perfectly symmetrical dome and a flat base for seamless mounting. This ICE SLUSHY CHERRY finish provides a deep, translucent red base coupled with a frosted, crystalline texture that captures light beautifully. As part of the prestigious Les Perles par Puca® collection, this component meets the exacting standards required for professional bead embroidery and high-end jewelry design.

Designed in France by the acclaimed artist Annick Puca, these cabochons bridge the gap between classic European elegance and traditional Czech glassmaking excellence. The material consistency allows for a uniform fit when integrating them into complex beaded bezels. For a sophisticated look, many designers use Preciosa seed beads to create intricate surrounding patterns that secure the cabochon without the need for adhesives.

Structural compatibility is a hallmark of this designer line, as every element is engineered to sit perfectly alongside multi-hole pressed glass shapes. You can easily frame this large center stone using Samos® par Puca® beads, which curve naturally around the 25mm circumference. Mixing shapes like Arcos® par Puca®, Minos® par Puca®, and Delos® par Puca® allows you to build architectural jewelry with structural integrity.

Deep crimson tones within the cherry glass offer a rich palette for various seasonal collections. Beautifully complements gold accents for a regal feel, or pair with jet black beads for a striking contrast that emphasizes the icy surface finish. The depth of color ensures that the piece remains a vibrant center-point in both daylight and artificial lighting.

Achieving a secure bezel requires high-tension thread that won't stretch or fray over time. For best results, we recommend using S-lon thread (specifically S-lon FIRE) with beading needles size 10-12 to navigate the tight spaces between the surrounding seed beads. These professional-grade materials ensure that your Les Perles par Puca® creations maintain their shape and durability throughout years of wear.

Professional beaders can explore numerous patterns and tutorials specifically designed for these shapes to master advanced geometric layouts. The 25mm size is ideal for statement pendants, brooch centers, or elaborate hair accessories. By combining the Czech glass quality with French artistic vision, this cabochon serves as a premium foundation for unique, boutique-quality jewelry pieces.
