Minos® par Puca® N. 5 - Copper Gold Mat

Deep in the heart of Northern Bohemia, centuries of glassmaking expertise meet the contemporary vision of French designer Annick Puca. These cylindrical, single-hole Minos® par Puca® beads embody the prestigious Les Perles par Puca® collection, offering a bridge between traditional craftsmanship and modern haute couture jewelry design. The rich copper gold mat finish provides a sophisticated, non-reflective metallic glow that grounds any intricate beadwork project with a touch of antique elegance.

Beadweaving enthusiasts often reach for these versatile components because they are meticulously engineered to nest perfectly with larger shapes. They pair beautifully with Arcos® par Puca® to fill small gaps or create rhythmic textures in complex necklaces. By combining these tiny accents with the iconic Amos® par Puca®, designers can achieve the signature Puca style—a seamless mosaic of glass that fits together like a puzzle without leaving visible thread gaps.

Creating a high-impact palette is effortless with this warm metallic tone, which serves as an excellent foundation for earthy or bold designs. For a striking contrast, pair with vibrant turquoise or deep teal to bring out the fire in the copper, or lean into a harmonious autumnal look by blending them with antique bronze and warm amber tones. These designer glass beads are essential for anyone looking to build professional-grade 3D jewelry structures.

Robust Czech pressed glass ensures that every bead maintains its uniform shape and durable matte finish throughout the life of the jewelry piece. For best results, we recommend using S-lon FIRE thread with beading needles size 10-12 to ensure smooth passage through the 0.8 mm hole, even when your pattern requires multiple thread passes through the bead. The strength of this polyethylene thread provides the necessary structural integrity for complex jewelry making projects.
