Various Striped - Nueva Cadiz & Speo-made Beads
Venetian drawn beads from the early 1800's onwards
Drawn glass beads are made from plain or multi-layered tubes pulled or drawn out, then cut or pinched apart and rounded-off by tumbling, grinding or heating in an inert powder, to soften & melt their ends. Many well-known beads, including Chevrons & Seed Beads, are made this way.
