Minos® par Puca® N. 17 - Opaque Light Rose Ceramic Look

Rose-colored glass components with a rustic texture bring a sense of history and artisan craft to modern jewelry designs. These unique beads are produced in the heart of North Bohemia, a region world-renowned for its centuries-old glassmaking tradition. By combining this Czech heritage with contemporary aesthetics, these pieces provide jewelry makers with a high-quality foundation for professional-grade creations.

Designed by the celebrated French artist Annick Puca, the Minos® par Puca® collection is specifically engineered for geometric precision. Each small cylindrical bead is part of a larger ecosystem of shapes, intended to be used alongside Amos® par Puca® and other designer components. This modular approach allows bead weaving enthusiasts to create complex, interlocking patterns that look like fine metalwork once assembled.

Harmonizing these dusty pink tones with shimmering gold accents creates a sophisticated, vintage-inspired palette. For a more vibrant and contemporary contrast, try pairing them with deep emerald green, or maintain a soft, feminine aesthetic by blending them with coral and peach hues. The ceramic-like finish adds a layer of depth and visual interest that standard glossy finishes cannot achieve, making your beadwork stand out.

Cylindrical proportions of 3 x 2.5 mm make these beads indispensable for filling small gaps or adding structural stability to three-dimensional projects. They pair exceptionally well with larger shapes like Arcos® par Puca®, serving as perfect spacers or decorative pivots in circular motifs. Because they are made from high-quality Czech pressed glass, they maintain uniform size and shape across every project.

Successful jewelry projects require reliable tools and materials, which is why we recommend using S-lon FIRE thread for projects that need maximum tensile strength. For more delicate fringe or traditional weaving, Nymo thread is an excellent choice. The 0.8 mm hole size is designed to accommodate beading needles size 10-12, allowing for multiple thread passes through the bead without risk of breaking the glass.
