Samos® par Puca® N. 12 - Opaque Aqua Bronze

A weathered Mediterranean artifact comes to mind when viewing the unique mottled surface of these Samos® par Puca® beads. This specific Opaque Aqua Bronze finish blends a serene turquoise base with organic metallic splatters, creating a vintage look that feels both historic and modern. Designed by the celebrated French artist Annick Puca and manufactured through traditional Czech glassmaking techniques, these 2-hole oval beads provide a smooth, domed surface that is perfect for dimensional beadwork. They are specifically engineered to sit beautifully when used for Cabochon® par Puca® framing, allowing you to create intricate bezels with a professional, high-end jewelry finish.

• Unique 2-hole oval shape for complex structural designs
• Versatile 5x7 mm size that bridges the gap between focal and accent beads
• Seamlessly compatible with other shapes like Arcos®, Minos®, and Télos®
• Premium Czech pressed glass ensures hole consistency and durability

Intricate woven bracelets and geometric necklaces gain immediate character when you incorporate these designer components into your patterns. Because the Puca system is a fully integrated ecosystem of shapes, these beads align perfectly with Preciosa seed beads in sizes 8/0 or 10/0 to fill gaps and add fine detail. For a striking contrast, pair with deep turquoise or teal shades, or let the metallic flecks shine by using neutral cream accents for a sophisticated bohemian aesthetic. Whether you are following a specific French tutorial or experimenting with your own bead weaving layout, the dual-hole configuration allows for multiple thread passes through the bead, giving your jewelry the stability it needs for daily wear.
