What Are Arcos Par Puca Beads?

Arcos Par Puca beads:

• Were designed by a French jewelry designer
• Have three holes
• Measure 5×10 mm
• Are moon-shaped
• Connect perfectly with the single hole of the Minos Par Puca beads.

These beads are produced in Czech factories and will therefore, have many of the colours and finishes of many Czech beads.

Of course, now that you know about these unique beads, you’ll want to use them, right? I’ll share some of the patterns that I have come across that use these little beauties.
