About Chevron Beads:

The technique for creating Chevron beads was invented in the late 1400s by Maria Valovera on the island of Murano, Italy. While Venetian bead-making techniques are adaptations of ancient methods, Chevron beads are unique to Venice. These beads can have up to 10 layers, with blue being the most common color. Red, green, and black Chevron beads are rarer and thus more valuable. The production of Chevron beads later spread to the Netherlands. The term "Chevron" refers to the V-shaped pattern, and these beads are also known as Star beads or Rosetta beads.
