These are large 6 layer chevron glass beads in barrel shape. These blue and white striped glass beads were made in Italy and are called Chevron or star beads. They are the most beautiful, recognizable and collectible of all Italian beads. Glass canes in red, white, black and cobalt blue were fused together, then cut to reveal the lovely star patterns. These vintage beads show some minor signs of wear and pitting on the ends, but are in very good condition.
