Lipsi® par Puca® N. 171 - Metallic Mat Royal Blue

Royal blue shades often struggle to find the perfect balance between vibrant saturation and a sophisticated finish, yet these oval components master both with ease. Designers frequently face the challenge of finding high-quality 2-hole Czech beads that align perfectly in geometric patterns without shifting or overlapping. By choosing these meticulously shaped Lipsi® par Puca® glass elements, you ensure that every stitch in your beadwork remains precise and professional, saving you the frustration of uneven tension or misaligned rows.

This specific shape is part of the prestigious Les Perles par Puca® collection, envisioning a harmonious ecosystem where every bead shape interacts flawlessly. Designed by the French artist Annick Puca and produced through legendary Czech glassmaking traditions, these beads are engineered to nestle perfectly against other shapes like Arcos® par Puca® or the elegant Amos® par Puca®. This interoperability allows for the creation of intricate, three-dimensional architectural jewelry that looks complex but remains manageable for the maker.

The Metallic Mat Royal Blue finish provides a velvety, non-reflective surface that glows with an inner depth, making it an excellent choice for statement necklaces or modern evening wear. Because the color is applied with precision, these Czech glass beads maintain their luxurious appearance even with frequent handling. This particular shade offers a regal alternative to standard primary colors, adding a touch of Parisian chic and high-fashion aesthetic to any handmade jewelry project.

Beautifully complements dark grey or graphite tones for a sophisticated, moody palette, or you can pair them with shimmering gold for a classic, luxurious contrast. These color combinations highlight the unique texture of the matte metallic surface, ensuring your centerpieces and components stand out in any lighting condition.

For best results during complex weaving, we recommend using high-strength S-lon FIRE thread with beading needles size 10-12. Since the hole size is 0.8 mm, these needles allow for multiple thread passes through the bead, which is essential for reinforcing secure structures in projects like the Puca bead tutorials. Choosing the right thread ensures your jewelry remains flexible yet structurally sound, providing a professional finish that lasts.
