Cabochon par Puca N. 390 (8mm) - Metallic Mat Purple

Violet tones in a matte finish solve the problem of harsh reflections in intricate jewelry designs, offering a sophisticated alternative for modern beadwork. This Cabochon® par Puca® features a metallic mat purple surface that provides a deep, velvety glow, acting as a stable anchor for complex patterns. These 8mm glass cabochons serve as the perfect centerpieces when framed with Matubo Ginko beads, which can be arranged as elegant petals around the central violet element.

• Uniform 8mm size ensures consistent results in calibrated bead patterns.
• Authentic Czech pressed glass quality combined with French design heritage.
• Non-reflective matte finish offers a contemporary, high-end look for evening jewelry.
• Part of the interconnected Les Perles par Puca® system for seamless designing.

Professional beaders often find that a matte purple palette beautifully complements peridot green for a striking contrast, or fuchsia and hot pink for a vibrant, harmonious look. These beads are designed by French artist Annick Puca to integrate perfectly with other geometric shapes such as Amos® par Puca® or Arcos® par Puca®. The Les Perles par Puca® collection is famous for how these various forms (Delos®, Minos®, Paros®) work together, allowing you to follow sophisticated tutorials or create original masterpieces with ease.

Achieving structural integrity in your woven pieces is much easier when using the correct supplies for multiple thread passes through the bead. For the best results, we recommend using S-lon FIRE or Nymo thread along with beading needles size 10-12 to ensure your project remains durable yet flexible. Using a high-quality thread prevents fraying and ensures that your focal 8mm cabochons remain securely positioned within their woven bezels, even in heavy wear items like bracelets.
