[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 9530667, member: 8267"]I stand corrected. A distinction I was not aware of (and not one commonly made in descriptions by companies selling trade beads) - " Only rosetta/star beads with ground ends (either faceted, rounded, or chamfered), and with their inner layers exposed, are "chevron" beads. All star beads with flat ends are more aptly termed rosetta/star beads."

On the other hand, the flat ended rosetta "awale" beads are described as being popular in West Africa.[/QUOTE]
