Minos® par Puca® N. 14 - Metallic Mat Green Turquoise

Coastal aesthetics and oceanic palettes continue to dominate modern accessory trends, making these muted teal elements a staple for any designer. These 3mm beads offer a unique cylindrical shape that provides a sophisticated architectural foundation for structural jewelry making. The metallic matte finish creates a soft, textured appearance that mimics the weathered beauty of sea glass with a refined industrial edge.

Minos® par Puca® beads are meticulously designed by French artist Annick Puca to serve as the perfect connector within an expansive system of shapes. Their compact size allows them to bridge the gaps between larger components like Arcos® par Puca® or Amos® par Puca®, ensuring that your bead weaving projects achieve a seamless and professional finish. This inter-connectivity is at the heart of the Les Perles par Puca® philosophy, where every shape is part of a greater whole.

Combining French design heritage with the world-renowned Czech glassmaking tradition, these designer beads are pressed from high-quality glass to ensure uniform size and durability. The turquoise metallic coating is applied with precision, offering an evergreen color that stays relevant across seasons and styles. Whether you are creating intricate geometric patterns or simple strung designs, the quality of these Czech glass beads ensures a high-end result that stands the test of time.

Beautifully complements bronze or old copper findings for a vintage Mediterranean feel, or pairs effortlessly with warm peach tones for a contemporary contrast. This specific turquoise hue is versatile enough to act as either a primary color or a subtle accent in a more complex, earthy palette.

For best results when attempting complex handmade jewelry patterns, we recommend using S-lon thread, specifically S-lon FIRE for maximum strength and tension. Use these with beading needles size 10-12 to allow for multiple thread passes through the 0.8 mm hole. These beads are excellent for filling small spaces in 3D structures or adding a touch of color to the edges of larger focal pieces.
