Minos® par Puca® N. 20 - Opaque Blue Turquoise

Precision-engineered to a 3 x 2.5 mm dimension, these cylindrical pressed glass beads represent the pinnacle of Czech manufacturing. The Opaque Blue Turquoise finish offers a vibrant, solid color saturation that remains consistent across batches, ensuring professional results in complex patterns. With a 0.8 mm hole, they comfortably accommodate multiple thread passes through the bead, making them essential for structural bead weaving.

Les Perles par Puca® are distinguished by their French design heritage and traditional Czech glass beads origins. Designed by the acclaimed artist Annick Puca, the Minos® par Puca® shape is specifically crafted to act as a versatile spacer or a structural connector. They integrate seamlessly with other shapes in the collection, such as the petal-like Amos® par Puca®, to create intricate, lace-like jewelry.

Beautifully complements high-contrast accents like jet black for a modern look, or pairs harmoniously with copper metallic tones for a classic Mediterranean aesthetic. This opaque blue turquoise hue is particularly effective when building summer-themed jewelry making projects that require a pop of Mediterranean color.

Professional designers utilize these 3x2.5mm beads in multi-layered weaving and 3D geometric constructions. Their uniform size allows for tight tolerances in circular peyote or right-angle weave (RAW), where they often serve as the bridge between larger designer shapes like Arcos® par Puca®. Because they are designer glass beads, they follow strict quality controls for shape consistency.

For best results in intensive weaving projects, we recommend using S-lon FIRE with beading needles size 10-12. This combination provides the necessary strength and thin profile to navigate the bead's architecture without risking breakage or tension issues. These beads are an essential addition to any bead weaving supplies kit, offering endless possibilities for custom patterns and tutorials.
