About Chevron Beads:

The Chevron bead technique was invented in the late 1400s by Maria Valovere on the island of Murano, Italy. While Venetian bead-making techniques have roots in ancient methods, Chevron beads are uniquely Venetian. Up to ten layers of Chevron beads have been discovered, with blue being the most common color. Red, green, and black Chevrons are particularly rare. The technique later spread to the Netherlands. The term "Chevron" means "V-shaped" and is also known as Star Beads or Rosetta Beads (CHEVRON).
