They were first made by Venetian craftsmen at the end of the 15th century, using multi-layer glass production techniques to form a unique multi-layered star pattern. Typically, chevrolet beads are composed of 4 to 7 layers of glass of different colors, and when cut can reveal a clear star-shaped pattern in the center. This complex and exquisite production process made it a representative work of the technical prowess of its time. In Africa, chevrotain beads were used as precious objects in trade and rituals, especially in West Africa. Not only do they have monetary value, they often serve as symbols of social status and wealth, and the wearers are usually high-status people in society. Due to their widespread use in global trade, chevrotain beads have become a symbol of African trade bead culture, reflecting a history of cross-cultural exchange. Artistically, chevrolet beads are known for their distinctive geometric patterns and bright colors, demonstrating superb glass craftsmanship and aesthetic value. These beads are not only tools of trade, but also witnesses of history and art, and are still highly prized by collectors and historians today. -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------- Pure Antique Sumi Antique is a platform founded by Sumi, an antique collector.
