I don't recognize your bead specifically.

My only suggestion is that it MIGHT be a bead made by this guy at Venice, who specializes in small-batch chevron beads, made to order. I have not tracked down his name, but I've heard his story a few times.

The beads I'm showing here were made by him for my friend Jody in Petaluma, who operates Legendary Beads in Santa Rosa. I bought them in 2005 (I think)—and she had had them made a few years earlier.
