About Chevron Beads:

Chevron beads were invented in the late 1400s by Maria Barovier on the island of Murano, Italy. While Venetian bead-making techniques often adapt ancient methods, Chevron production is uniquely Venetian. Chevron beads can have up to 10 layers, with blue being the most common color. Red, green, and black chevrons are rarer and more valuable. Originally exclusive to Venice, Chevron bead production later spread to the Netherlands. The term "Chevron" refers to the characteristic V-shaped pattern, also known as star beads or rosetta beads.
