Beaded Peacock, Singapore | 500 Pieces
Within Singapore's extraordinary world of decorative art, this beaded peacock is a masterpiece of intricate craftsmanship. Every surface of the bird's head and neck is encrusted with thousands of tiny iridescent crystals — deep sapphire blues, teals, and silvers — catching the light with an almost liquid shimmer. Above, a crown of wire-thin filaments fans upward, each tipped with a jewelled blue bead, while behind the bird, the soft golden-green blur of real peacock feathers creates a dreamlike backdrop.
It is simultaneously sculpture, jewellery, and living creature — and as a 500-piece vertical puzzle, the extraordinary detail and rich color make for a truly captivating build.
What to Expect from the Build
The dense iridescent texture means you'll be sorting by subtle color shifts and crystal patterns — a satisfying challenge for experienced puzzlers. The vertical format (15" × 20.5") gives the peacock real presence once complete, and the finished puzzle frames beautifully as wall art.
