Piros® par Puca® N. 72 - Chatoyant Grape

Centuries of Bohemian glassmaking tradition meet the sophisticated vision of French designer Annick Puca in every bead produced for the Les Perles par Puca® collection. These 5 x 3mm glass beads represent a marriage of historical craftsmanship from the Czech Republic and contemporary Parisian style, offering makers a unique geometric element that transcends basic stringing. Each piece is precision-pressed to ensure consistency, allowing for the creation of intricate, professional-grade jewelry making supplies that stand the test of time.

Chatoyant Grape presents a mesmerizing violet hue with a silky, light-catching finish that adds depth and movement to any project. The purple glass beads feature a subtle shimmer characteristic of chatoyancy, making them an ideal choice for designer jewelry beads that require a touch of luxury. With their distinctive arch shape and dual-parallel holes, these components allow for structural versatility in both flat weaving and three-dimensional beadwork.

Integration is at the heart of the Les Perles par Puca® system, where shapes are specifically engineered to nestle together like a perfect mosaic. You can effortlessly combine Piros® par Puca® with other geometric shapes such as Amos® par Puca® or the curved Arcos® par Puca® to build complex circular or floral motifs. This interconnectivity is what makes the collection a favorite for artists following detailed bead weaving patterns or developing their own innovative jewelry designs.

Professional finishing requires the right tools to navigate the 2-hole Czech beads without compromising the structural integrity of your design. We recommend using a high-quality S-lon thread, specifically S-lon FIRE for its exceptional strength and resistance to fraying during multiple thread passes through the bead. When working with the 0.8 mm holes, beading needles size 10-12 are the perfect companions, ensuring the needle and thread glide smoothly through the glass while maintaining the tension necessary for intricate French bead design techniques.
