Samos® par Puca® N. 285 - 03000/25407-49 (Constellation Garnet)

Deep wine tones meet the cosmic sparkle of a starry night in these stunning Czech glass beads. The Constellation Garnet finish features a rich burgundy base infused with iridescent flakes that catch the light like distant nebulae. These high-quality two-hole beads offer a unique almond shape with a soft dome, providing a professional and sophisticated look to any handmade accessory.

Designer Annick Puca has created a unique ecosystem where every shape, from the oval Samos® par Puca® to the triangular Amos® par Puca®, fits together like a puzzle. This French design heritage ensures that your creations possess an elegant, balanced aesthetic. By combining these designer beads with other elements from the Les Perles par Puca® collection, you can achieve complex geometric patterns that are both modern and timeless.

For best results, we recommend using Nymo thread or S-lon FIRE with beading needles size 10-12 to navigate the dual parallel holes during intricate weaving. The 0.8 mm hole allows for multiple thread passes through the bead, which is essential for secure and detailed bead weaving. These components are perfect for artisans looking to expand their skills in dimensional beadwork.

Garnet shades provide a luxurious foundation for your jewelry, and for a striking contrast, you might pair them with turquoise or use gold as a neutral accent. The deep red hue beautifully complements fuchsia or hot pink for a vibrant, harmonious palette. Whether you are creating a bold statement necklace or delicate earrings, these 5x7mm beads add a touch of galactic mystery.

Oval shapes like these are specifically designed to curve seamlessly around larger focal points, such as a Cabochon® par Puca®, creating a sophisticated frame. The precise dimensions of Samos® par Puca® allow them to sit flush against other glass components, eliminating gaps and ensuring a high-end finish. This makes them a favorite for architectural jewelry designs and elaborate floral motifs.

Architectural jewelry patterns often utilize the double-hole system to link with Arcos® par Puca®, allowing you to build dimensional bracelets and necklaces with undeniable French flair.

Your jewelry projects will benefit from the centuries-old tradition of Czech glassmaking paired with contemporary artistic vision.
