AUTHENTIC VINTAGE 6-LAYER 33 MM CHEVRON ROSETTA BEAD

Description

AUTHENTIC VINTAGE 6-LAYER 33 MM CHEVRON ROSETTA BEAD
This is an authentic vintage 6-layer chevron or rosetta bead.  When you look at the bead from the end, a 12-point
star pattern is visible.  It is difficult to ascertain the age of these beads, because the production of 6-layer chevrons
made for the African trade always remained the same, but it would have been made in Venice any time between
the early 19th century to about 1920 and possibly as late as 1950, when all production of 4- and 6- layer chevrons
stopped.  It is in good vintage condition, with some minor pitting and no chipping around the hole.  The colours are
cobalt, brick and white in six layers.  Dimensions:
1 1/4" (33 mm) long by 7/8" (22 mm) in diameter.
Shipping price quoted is without tracking.  If you want tracking, shipping to the U.S. will be and to Europe.
