Vintage Italian glass beads in a chevron style. These Chevrons beads are red with black and white stripes. Four layers of Glass canes in red, white and black were fused together, then cut to reveal these lovely patterns. These are Italian reproductions of an old 18th century design. Very nice quality oval beads with tapered ends.  Nicely matched chevrons on a 16 inch strand. 

• Circa 1970
• Size: 8 x 14mm
• Strand: 16 inches
