Product Details

Take a look at this incredible strand of Venetian Blue Chevron Beads. Chevron beads such as as these are highly sought-after by bead collectors and bead lovers alike and may considered among the classic beads of the African Trade. The first Chevron beads were made from Murano glass in the late 15th century and were characterized by their unique rosetta or star design made by alternating layers of glass. Over the subsequent centuries, these beads were made for trade throughout Africa as well as the Americas where they may have been introduced by Christopher Columbus. While the exact age of these beads is not known, they are likely between 100-150 years in age. This 28" strand consists of a variety of chevron beads that vary in shape and size. Individual beads measure approximately 3-14 x 6-13mm. Inspection suggests that many of the beads may have anywhere between three to six layers. You will receive the exact strand pictured.

What a find!

I was extremely excited when these chevron beads popped up. I have a few antique chevrons beads that I purchased from a collector 23 years ago and have not seen any at tables of bead vendors. So happy with my purchase and the expediency of the delivery.
