Lipsi® par Puca® N. 160 - Vogue Mat Stone

The Lipsi® par Puca® bead presents a unique 7 x 4mm oval geometry with two parallel 0.8mm holes, engineered specifically for high-precision bead weaving. These components are essential for artisans who require exact tolerances and consistent spacing when constructing complex, multi-dimensional jewelry pieces. The dual-hole system allows for architectural stability, ensuring that each bead sits perfectly aligned within a pattern.

French design sensibility meets centuries of Czech glassmaking tradition in this exclusive bead from the Les Perles par Puca® collection. Designed by the renowned French artist Annick Puca, the Lipsi® shape was created to serve as a versatile connector or a standalone decorative element. The quality of the pressed glass ensures smooth edges and uniform hole placement, which are critical for professional-grade jewelry designs.

Structural compatibility is a core feature of this collection, as these beads are designed to work together seamlessly with other Puca shapes. They integrate effortlessly with Arcos® par Puca® and Delos® par Puca®, allowing for the creation of intricate floral or geometric motifs. The standardized hole spacing across the entire range facilitates fluid transitions between different bead types in a single project.

Vogue Mat Stone finish provides a sophisticated, organic aesthetic that mimics the tactile quality of natural minerals. This matte surface treatment offers a contemporary alternative to high-gloss beads, diffusing light softly and providing a velvety texture to the finished jewelry. It is a durable finish that resists surface wear and maintains its muted elegance throughout the life of the piece.

Beautifully complements silver accents for a crisp, modern look or pairs with dark sapphire for a striking high-contrast composition. The neutral tones of the stone finish make it an ideal anchor for vibrant color palettes or a subtle companion for other earthy textures.

Professional beaders will find these beads ideal for techniques such as peyote stitch, right-angle weave, and custom bezeling for cabochons. To achieve the best results, use beading needles size 10-12 and high-performance S-lon FIRE thread, which allows for multiple thread passes through the bead without compromising the integrity of the design. The 0.8mm holes are generous enough for versatile stringing while remaining tight enough for detailed needlework.
