Tinos® par Puca® N. 18 - Metallic Mat Green Turquoise

Traditional Czech glassmaking heritage meets the sophisticated flair of French design in these unique two-hole beads. Developed in the heart of the Bohemia region, these components carry centuries of craftsmanship into modern jewelry making, offering artisans a reliable and high-quality material for their most intricate structural designs.

The velvety texture of this metallic mat green turquoise finish provides a rich, tactile experience and a deep, muted glow that captures the light without overwhelming the eye. These 4 x 10 mm trapezoid-shaped beads are specifically engineered to provide structural stability in beadweaving, making them a favorite for creating geometric patterns, mandalas, and sophisticated borders.

• Unique trapezoid geometry with two parallel holes
• Part of the interconnected Les Perles par Puca® system
• Premium Czech pressed glass with a durable matte finish
• Original French design by artist Annick Puca

Beautifully complements harmonious shades like mint or light green for a soft monochromatic look, or can be used alongside gold accents for a luxurious, regal feel. Because Tinos® par Puca® beads are designed to work as a complete system, they integrate seamlessly with other shapes such as Amos® par Puca® and Arcos® par Puca®, allowing for endless creative combinations in your handmade necklaces and bracelets.

For best results in your beadweaving projects, we recommend using high-strength S-lon FIRE thread with beading needles size 10-12. This combination ensures the thread remains hidden while allowing for multiple thread passes through the bead to secure your intricate lace-like structures. Whether you are following a specific French tutorial or designing your own pattern, these beads provide the precision required for professional results.

Creative possibilities flourish when using these Czech glass beads as the foundation for architectural jewelry. From 3D beaded beads to elegant earrings, the Tinos® par Puca® shape offers a bridge between classic aesthetics and contemporary form, ensuring your creations stand out with a touch of European elegance.
