Chevron beads has been more popular than any other beads. First invented by the Venetians in the 16th century, these beads are still in production today. The Dutch also manufactured chevron beads throughout the 17th century.

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.
