Lipsi® par Puca® N. 11 - Full Vitrail

Full Vitrail coatings on these precision components create a spectacular iridescent display that shifts from emerald green to deep magenta depending on the angle of light. These 7 x 4 mm two-hole beads are essential for modern geometric beadweaving, offering a unique rounded rectangular profile that adds depth and architectural interest to professional jewelry designs. The surface finish is durable and vibrant, reflecting the high standards of traditional Czech glassmaking coupled with innovative French artistry.

High-quality Czech pressed glass serves as the foundation for this shape, ensuring that each bead maintains strict dimensional tolerances. This consistency is crucial for bead weavers who require perfect alignment when creating complex patterns or structural jewelry pieces. The smooth, rounded edges prevent thread abrasion, making them a pleasure to work with during long sessions of intricate needlework.

Designer Annick Puca developed the Lipsi® shape to function as a versatile building block within her interconnected system of beads. These components are specifically engineered to integrate seamlessly with other shapes in the collection, such as Amos® par Puca® or Delos® par Puca®, allowing for the creation of fluid, lace-like textures and solid geometric forms alike.

Technical specifications include two parallel 0.8 mm holes that are drilled with extreme precision to ensure they are free of debris and burrs. This generous diameter allows for multiple thread passes through the bead, even when using robust polyethylene materials like S-lon FIRE or our N-series nylon beading threads. For the best results in structural weaving, we recommend using beading needles size 10-12 to navigate the paths easily.

Structural integrity and finish longevity make these beads a favorite among professional jewelry artists who demand components that withstand the test of time. The Vitrail treatment is applied using advanced vacuum coating technology, ensuring that the metallic luster remains bright and resistant to minor surface friction. This makes them ideal for high-wear items like bracelets and rings where durability is just as important as aesthetic appeal.

For a striking contrast, pair with jet black beads to highlight the iridescent metallic tones, or combine with silver accents for a sophisticated, cool-toned finish.
