Lipsi® par Puca® N. 63 - Blue Opal Mat Ab

The century-old tradition of Czech glassmaking meets modern artistic vision in this unique jewelry component. Born from the creative mind of French designer Annick Puca, the Lipsi® par Puca® collection represents a bridge between heritage and innovation. These two-hole beads are meticulously pressed in the heart of the Jizera Mountains, ensuring that every piece carries the weight of artisanal expertise and historical craftsmanship.

Matte finishes provide a sophisticated, contemporary look that softens the light, while the AB coating adds a delicate, iridescent glow. The Blue Opal hue offers a serene, ethereal quality, making it a perfect choice for jewelry making projects that require both depth and subtle shimmer. The rectangular lozenge shape with rounded edges allows for seamless integration into complex bead weaving structures.

• Versatile 2-hole design for multi-dimensional patterns
• Durable Czech glass material with a premium finish
• Perfectly calibrated size for precise geometric work
• Interchangeable system compatible with other Puca® shapes

Combining these elements into your workspace opens a world of geometric possibilities, especially when you pair them with other shapes from the collection. The Lipsi® par Puca® shape is specifically designed to nestle comfortably against Arcos® par Puca® or Amos® par Puca®. This interconnectivity is the hallmark of the Les Perles par Puca® system, allowing designers to build intricate textures and silhouettes that were previously impossible to achieve with standard components.

For a striking contrast, pair with orange hyacinth tones to make the blue pop, or beautifully complements cobalt blue and silver for a more harmonious, winter-inspired palette. These glass beads respond exceptionally well to varying light conditions, shifting from a soft sky blue to a shimmering opal as the jewelry moves.

Using the right tools is essential for maintaining the integrity of your designs, particularly when dealing with 0.8 mm holes. For best results, we recommend using S-lon thread, specifically the S-lon FIRE variant for its maximum strength and minimal knotting, alongside beading needles size 10-12. This combination ensures that the needle and thread can make multiple thread passes through the bead without causing tension issues or breakage.

Whether you are following a specific beading tutorial or experimenting with a freestyle peyote stitch, the architectural nature of these beads provides a sturdy foundation. The French design heritage ensures that every project finished with these components has a professional, high-fashion aesthetic. By choosing Czech glass beads, you are supporting a legacy of excellence that continues to inspire artists around the globe.
