Minos® par Puca® N. 116 - Opaque Blue Ceramic Look

Opaque blue ceramic look finishes offer a timeless, artisan quality to the Minos® par Puca® collection, ensuring each 3 x 2.5 mm bead meets the exacting standards required for professional jewelry design. These single-hole cylinders are manufactured from premium Czech pressed glass and form part of the acclaimed Les Perles par Puca® range, designed by French artist Annick Puca. The technical precision of these beads allows for exceptional consistency in bead weaving and dimensional embroidery, making them a staple for creators who value structural integrity and high-end aesthetics.

• Perfectly calibrated 3 x 2.5 mm dimensions for intricate patterns
• Large 0.8 mm hole diameter to accommodate multiple thread passes
• Unique ceramic-effect finish for a vintage or natural stone appearance
• Interoperable design compatible with all other Puca® shapes

Integrating these components into complex geometric designs is seamless, as they are specifically engineered to sit alongside other shapes such as Amos® par Puca® or the curved Arcos® par Puca®. The soft, medium blue hue acts as a versatile mid-tone in a palette; for a striking contrast, pair with vibrant orange hyacinth or use silver accents for a clean, professional finish. The French design heritage ensures that every element of the Minos® par Puca® line contributes to a harmonious, high-fashion result in finished necklaces, bracelets, and earrings.

Advanced beadwork techniques, such as three-dimensional stitching or architectural bead weaving, benefit greatly from the generous hole size and smooth edges of this glass material. For best results, use S-lon thread (specifically S-lon Fire for maximum strength and durability) with beading needles size 10-12 to ensure smooth movement through the beads. Because the 0.8 mm hole allows for the total diameter of the needle and doubled thread to pass through several times, these beads are ideal for complex junctions in master-level patterns. Their durability and fade-resistant Czech glassmaking tradition guarantee that your jewelry will remain a gallery-quality piece for years to come.
