Bracelet with 104 unfinished chevrons, 5 layers, from Murano, circa 1920, Ghana

General, number of beads, origin
The beads from this necklace belong to the group of chevron beads, but they have different color arrangements than the standard. From the core outward: brown / white / brown / white, and the top layer varies between blue, white, or brown.
This type of bead is sometimes also called 'Old Holland,' but nowadays it is doubted that they come from Holland.

The photos show that the beads are not rounded but more or less 'chopped', similar to how millefiori beads are also made.


Quality
The quality of the beads is good, but there are a very limited number of beads with a small chip (we did not remove these beads to preserve the original strand, and it is not bothersome!).

Weight and height
Necklace: 300 grams; length of the necklace 86 cm.
The beads almost all have the same diameter of 14 mm. The thickness of each bead varies from approximately 7 to 14 mm.
