About Chevron Beads:

Chevron beads, also known as star beads or rosetta, 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, the chevron technique is uniquely Venetian. Chevron beads can have up to ten layers and are most commonly found in blue, though red, green, and black variants are rarer and more valuable. The technique was later adopted in the Netherlands. The term "chevron" refers to the bead's distinctive zigzag pattern.
