Samos® par Puca® N. 221 - 31010/84100 (Blue Opal Mat)

In the heart of Northern Bohemia, the centuries-old tradition of Czech glassmaking finds new life through the artistic vision of French designer Annick Puca. This unique collaboration yields precision-pressed components that serve as the building blocks for modern beadwork masterpieces, blending artisanal history with contemporary style. The meticulous manufacturing process ensures that every bead maintains a consistent shape, making them a reliable choice for professional designers and hobbyists alike.

Samos® par Puca® beads, with their distinctive oval dome and dual-hole configuration, provide an architectural depth that standard shapes cannot achieve. These 2-hole beads are frequently utilized to create elegant floral patterns or as structural supports in circular motifs, especially when used to surround cabochons or nested alongside Arcos® par Puca® to frame central elements. Their matte blue opal finish adds a velvety, non-reflective quality that feels both modern and sophisticated.

Beautifully complements warm tones like metallic gold for a high-fashion look, or pairs effortlessly with serene crystal accents and various shades of cobalt blue for a harmonious sea-inspired palette. The matte texture of these Czech glass beads offers a unique glow that remains consistent under various lighting conditions, making them a favorite for elegant evening necklaces or artisanal bracelets that require a touch of understated luxury.

For best results during intricate weaving, we recommend using S-lon thread—specifically S-lon FIRE for maximum strength—along with beading needles size 10-12 to ensure multiple thread passes through the bead remain smooth and secure. As part of the Les Perles par Puca® collection, these beads are specifically engineered to interact with other shapes like Amos® par Puca®, Minos® par Puca®, and Télos® par Puca®, allowing artists to construct complex, multi-dimensional jewelry with professional ease.
