Chevron trade beads, also known as “Rosetta” beads, originated in Venice in the late 15th century and were traded globally, particularly with African and Native American communities. Their layered glass construction and starburst ends made them highly desirable and symbolic.


In the Southwest United States, Navajo silversmiths occasionally incorporated these beads into jewelry during the 20th century, blending ancient trade history with Indigenous artistic tradition. Pieces like this ring are rare—combining global trade heritage with authentic Native American silversmithing, each one a small piece of cultural fusion and craftsmanship.

This rare and striking Navajo handmade ring features an authentic Chevron trade bead set in sterling silver, showcasing the artistry and cultural depth of Southwest Native American jewelry. The vibrant Chevron bead—with its distinct layered glass pattern—sits at the center of a bold, handcrafted setting with classic Navajo silversmith detailing.
