Chilli Preciosa N. 73 - White Alabaster, Picasso Green

Imagine a bracelet where every bead curves like a tiny petal, creating a rhythmic movement that feels organic and alive. These elongated, drop-like components feature a unique concave shape that allows them to nestle together or fan out in decorative clusters. Their dimensional profile makes them a favorite for creators looking to add architectural interest to their jewelry making supplies.

The White Alabaster Picasso Green finish offers a soft, minty foundation decorated with earthy, rustic speckles that mimic the look of natural stone. These Czech glass beads are part of a 300-year legacy of craftsmanship, offering a rich color palette and the characteristic charm of traditional glassmaking. The Picasso finish provides a vintage, weathered look that pairs beautifully with both modern and bohemian styles.

Designing with these distinctive components allows for incredible versatility, especially when you pair them with Preciosa Pip beads to create lush, layered textures. This shape is a cornerstone of professional bead weaving patterns and is a key part of the Les Perles par Puca® collection. Often used as Amos® par Puca® in French-designed projects, these beads coordinate effortlessly with other geometric shapes to build complex, 3D structures.

• Ideal for creating three-dimensional flower petals and floral motifs
• Unique concave shape designed for perfect nesting and layering
• Double holes ensure stability in complex architectural beadwork
• Durable glass construction with a high-quality designer finish

For a striking contrast that emphasizes the earthy mottling, pair these beads with jet black accents, or choose Preciosa seed beads in white opal or milky shades for a harmonious, subtle look. You can also add a vibrant splash of color by using siam red as a neutral accent to highlight the green tones of the 4x11mm beads.

Because these shaped glass elements require a secure structure to maintain their alignment, using S-lon FIRE thread ensures your jewelry remains durable without compromising on flexibility. We recommend using beading needles size 10-11 for the best experience, as the thread will glide smoothly through the holes even during multiple thread passes through the bead.

Pressed glass beads from the Czech Republic represent an exceptional standard in the beading world, providing makers with an affordable yet luxurious material. Whether you are a beginner or an expert, these 2-hole beads offer endless design inspiration for necklaces, earrings, and intricate woven bracelets that stand out from the crowd.
