Tinos® par Puca® N. 10 - Red Metallic Mat

Red Metallic Mat finish on these geometric trapezoid components provides a sophisticated, non-reflective surface that maintains its deep crimson hue under various lighting conditions. These Tinos® par Puca® beads feature two parallel 0.8 mm holes, engineered with precision tolerances to ensure consistent alignment in complex beadweaving structures. The 4 x 10 mm profile allows for seamless integration into multi-layered designs, offering professional crafters a versatile building block for structural jewelry.

French designer Annick Puca envisioned these shapes to transcend traditional beading boundaries, blending Parisian chic with the world-renowned excellence of Czech glassmaking. As part of the interconnected Les Perles par Puca® system, they are meticulously pressed to ensure uniform thickness and edge smoothness. This allows them to nest perfectly with other shapes like Amos® par Puca® or Arcos® par Puca®, creating a cohesive architectural look.

Trapezoidal geometry offers unique opportunities for creating circular motifs, geometric fans, or undulating borders in advanced jewelry projects. Because the holes are positioned specifically for architectural stability, these beads can be used to bridge gaps between larger focal pieces or as the primary element in a repeating geometric pattern. Artists often leverage their unique silhouette to build 3D textures that catch the light without the glare associated with high-gloss finishes.

Professional results in dimensional weaving require high-performance materials to manage the weight and tension of the piece. For the best structural integrity, we recommend using S-lon FIRE polyethylene thread, which offers maximum strength and minimal knotting, or our nylon N-series threads for a more supple drape. Using beading needles size 10-12 ensures you can execute multiple thread passes through the bead without risking breakage or tension issues.

Siam red tones like this metallic matte finish provide a powerful visual anchor for both classic and contemporary palettes. For a striking contrast, pair with emerald green accents, or create a warm, sunset-inspired gradient by combining them with orange hyacinth tones. If you prefer a more luxurious, high-end finish, a neutral accent of gold elements will perfectly highlight the velvety matte texture of the red glass.

Modern jewelry patterns often call for specific shape combinations that are only possible with the Les Perles par Puca® collection. These beads integrate effortlessly with Delos® par Puca® to form intricate mosaics or floral patterns found in professional tutorials. By utilizing the entire range of shapes, designers can achieve professional-grade results that showcase the legendary quality of Czech pressed glass components.
