About Chevron Beads:

Chevron beads, also known as star beads or rosetta beads, were invented in the late 1400s by Maria Barovier on the island of Murano, Italy. While Venetian beadmaking techniques have roots in ancient methods, Chevron beads are unique to Venice. They can have up to ten layers, with blue being the most common color. Red, green, and black variants are rarer and highly valued. The technique was later adopted by Dutch craftsmen. The name "Chevron" refers to the characteristic V-shaped pattern of these beads.
