10 Carat Appraisal

14K Gold 10 Carat Tennis Bracelet

The item is a gold tennis bracelet, specifically identified by the context as a 10 carat tennis bracelet made of 14K gold. The image focuses on a section of the bracelet, primarily showing the reverse side of the links and the clasp mechanism. The bracelet is constructed of individual, articulated gold links, each designed to hold a gemstone on the obverse side (which is not clearly visible in this view). The gold appears to be a warm yellow hue, consistent with 14K gold. Each link has an open-back design, likely to allow light to pass through the gemstones from the front. This design also reveals the culets of the stones, although the stones themselves are not distinct. The links show a typical construction for a tennis bracelet, with small, possibly soldered connections between them allowing for flexibility. Some minor surface wear or light scratches are visible on the gold from regular use, indicating a used but generally good condition. The clasp, which is predominantly featured, is a box clasp with a safety catch. On the visible part of the clasp, there are clear hallmarks: '14KT' indicating the gold purity. Another mark, possibly a manufacturer's mark or country of origin, is present but not entirely legible in the photograph, appearing as a stylized symbol or series of characters next to the '14KT' mark. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with precisely formed links and a secure clasp mechanism. This bracelet belongs to a classic design period, likely late 20th century to early 21st century, given the prevalent use of tennis bracelets during this time. The overall appearance suggests a durable and well-made piece of fine jewelry.
