Lipsi® par Puca® N. 172 - Bright Carrot

Vibrant orange hues bring a refreshing energy to contemporary beadwork, making the Bright Carrot shade a standout choice for summer-themed collections. These 2-hole Czech glass beads offer a unique rectangular profile with soft, rounded edges that sit comfortably against the skin in wearable art. Designers often utilize this bold tone to create striking contrasts in geometric patterns or to add a pop of color to neutral, monochromatic layouts.

French elegance meets legendary Czech glassmaking tradition in every piece of the Les Perles par Puca® collection. Designed by Parisian artist Annick Puca, the Lipsi® par Puca® shape is engineered for precision and versatility in professional jewelry making. The dual-hole design allows for intricate structural work, ensuring that your jewelry pieces maintain their form while providing multiple paths for creative threadwork.

Achieving professional results is effortless when you combine different shapes from the Puca system, as they are specifically created to interlock. This bead pairs beautifully with Amos® par Puca® and Arcos® par Puca® to build complex, three-dimensional textures. By mixing the flat surfaces of the Lipsi® par Puca® with the curves of other shapes like Delos® par Puca®, you can develop sophisticated earrings, bracelets, and necklaces that mimic high-end boutique aesthetics.

For best results in bead weaving projects, we recommend using S-lon FIRE thread for maximum strength and durability. This polyethylene thread is ideal for the 0.8 mm hole size, especially when paired with beading needles size 10-12. Considering the total diameter of the needle and double-passed thread is crucial for complex designs, and this combination ensures smooth movement through the bead holes without risking breakage during assembly.

Bold geometric jewelry remains a primary trend in the crafting community, and the 7 x 4 mm dimensions of these glass components are perfect for creating mosaic-style patterns. Try incorporating them into multi-strand necklaces or using them as decorative spacers in advanced peyote stitch designs. Their vibrant glossy finish complements earthy tones like terracotta or metallic finishes, providing endless inspiration for both beginner and professional jewelry designers looking to expand their material palette.
