Arcos Par Puca – These are semi cylindrical arc shaped beads that have three threading holes. These cute beads are ideal for combining with Minos Par Puca beads which sit comfortably in the centre. Try creating a circle shape with your Arcos beads and filling the centre with your own seed bead details or smaller round beads. You could also try creating a swirling flower shape using your Arcos beads as petals curling in the same direction.

Tinos Par Puca – The trapezium shaped beads have two threading holes that run parallel to each other. Tinos Par Puca beads work brilliantly with the rest of the range! They are available in a great range of tones, perfect for creating flat spaces between your detailed sections, whether you're using matching seed beads or other Par Puca beads.

Super Kheops Par Puca – These glass pyramid shaped beads have two threading holes on one side, that run to a single hole on each of the remaining two sides. They are similar to the regular Kheops beads above and can be used in the same way. Why not try threading these flat along a bracelet design so that the top of the pyramid shape points upwards, creating a spiked design?

Amos Par Puca – The brilliant Amos beads feature two holes running horizontally across the most narrow part and middle part of the droplet shape bead. These super smooth beads are ideal for creating petalled designs, floral embellishments and bursts of colour across your jewellery. Why not try threading matching seed beads
