IMHO one of the ugliest things I’ve ever seen, bead or otherwise!

Maybe it was posted for humor. But they had to make the thing first! Free shipping would have been a nice touch.

just think how many different continents contributed to this bead- India, USA, and?

what is the central fat layer made from- it doesn't appear to be glass?

however i don't believe any bead is intrinsically ugly just this one- though very ingenious- is rather overpriced... but certainly *extremely* rare...

Or a short rolling-pin (!).

I wrote to the seller—who thanked me for my advice. J.

I composed the following two messages to the seller:

www.etsy.com/listing/603804047/rare-7-layer-chevron-bead

This is a recent bead from India, not more than 20 years old, and probably newer. It is also NOT a trade bead—because it is too new.

Whomever told you this was an old bead lied to you. It's value would be a few dollars.

I am the leading authority on glass beads, and particularly chevron beads. If you have any doubts, Google my name. Jamey D. Allen

AND

If you want to understand chevron beads—and ANY beads—better, refer to the Forum at beadcollector.net—where I post under the name Beadman. You will see that your Etsy offering has been posted there. (NOT by me.) For the purpose of exposing your limited knowledge (in the opinion of that person). But a treasure-trove of good information can be found at the Forum, and many helpful people.

You can also find me at FaceBook—where I help people understand beads daily. I'm sorry you were ripped-off for the Indian chevron bead you are trying to sell. This is a very common rouse here and at eBay.

Sincerely, Jamey D. Allen
*************************************************

Unfortunately, apparently, the seller thinks I posted the original message, and is now very unhappy with me. I will not say what she wrote to me in reply. It just makes her look bad. My reply to her final message sets the record straight, assures her that my only goal was to help and inform her—and that my intent is entirely sincere.

JDA.
