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 draw from ancient methods, Chevron beads are unique to Venice. They have been found with up to ten layers, typically in blue, but rarer colors include red, green, and black. Chevron beads were later also produced in the Netherlands. The term "Chevron" means zigzag, referring to the bead's distinctive pattern. These beads are also known as "Star Beads" or "Rosetta Beads."
