Samos® par Puca® N. 211 - 23980/29034 (Polynesian Olivine)

Deep within the Crystal Valley of the Czech Republic, centuries of glassmaking tradition meet the sophisticated vision of French designer Annick Puca. This unique collaboration brings forth the Les Perles par Puca® collection, where artisanal heritage is transformed into geometric precision. Every bead is pressed with care, ensuring that the legendary quality of Czech glass serves as the foundation for modern jewelry masterpieces that demand both beauty and structural integrity.

Polynesian Olivine offers a captivating bi-tonal effect, shifting from a lush peridot green center to a soft, metallic mauve rim. This oval, 2-hole Samos® par Puca® bead provides a smooth, pebble-like silhouette that nestles perfectly against other shapes in the collection. Designers often use these beads to create intricate floral motifs or structured lace-like borders, especially when paired with Arcos® par Puca® to frame focal components or create elegant scalloped edges.

Shimmering with a fine metallic luster, these beads provide a rich texture that elevates any bead weaving project. For a striking contrast, pair with fuchsia or hot pink elements to make the green core pop, or blend them with yellow topaz for a harmonious, earthy aesthetic. They serve as an excellent structural element in dimensional jewelry, working seamlessly with Preciosa seed beads in sizes 10/0 or 11/0 to fill gaps and add professional-grade detail to your stitch work.

Artistic freedom is at the heart of the Puca® system, where every shape is meticulously engineered to interconnect. Whether you are following a specific French pattern or exploring your own geometry, the Samos® par Puca® integrates effortlessly with Minos® par Puca®, Télos® par Puca®, and Delos® par Puca®. This interconnectivity allows for the creation of complex jewelry that honors the timeless beauty of hand-pressed glass while pushing the boundaries of contemporary beadwork design.
