Chevrons are drawn-glass bead formed by forcing or blowing multiple-layered glass into a tapered corrugated mold, hence creating points on its outer surface. This process is then repeated by covering more glass layers of various colors. Finally stripes are applied to the surface and while the glass is still soft, it is then drawn into a cane of six feet long, cooled and finally sectioned into beads. They are then ground to produce a more finished product.

This necklace terminates with a bead and loop closure.
