Venetian 6 or 7-layer chevron | |||||
Re: Chevron -- Mark | Post Reply | Edit | Forum | Where am I? |
The innermost layer on a 7-L is typically a translucent greenish color (but other colors are seen too) and can be quite hard to distinguish especially if the bead has degraded. The 7-L's were also hand-faceted. The 6-L's would typically be ground smoothly at the ends rather than showing discrete flat facets.
Can you please show a photo of the bead from the side?
You can see more information on Venetian chevrons on the www.picardbeads.com web site, exhibits #9 & 10.
