Amazonite Bracelet Appraisal

Tumbled Amazonite Chip Bead Necklace/Bracelet

This item is a piece of jewelry, likely a necklace or bracelet, composed of numerous tumbled stone chip beads. The beads are irregular in shape, possessing smooth, rounded edges typical of tumble-polished stones. Their color palette ranges from a light, pale sky blue to a varying degree of greenish-blue, characteristic of Amazonite, a microcline feldspar mineral. Some beads exhibit white or lighter marbling, indicating natural variations within the stone. Each bead appears to be individually drilled and strung together, though the stringing material is not clearly visible. The overall construction suggests a natural, organic aesthetic due to the uneven shapes of the beads. At one end of the visible strand, there is a silver-toned metal lobster clasp closure with an associated extension chain, allowing for adjustable length. There are no discernible maker's marks or signatures visible in the image. The condition appears to be good, with no obvious signs of significant damage like chips or cracks on the beads. The metal clasp and chain also appear to be in good working order. Given the style, use of tumbled natural stones, and the generic silver-toned findings, this piece likely dates from the late 20th century to the present day, consistent with contemporary trends in natural stone jewelry. The craftsmanship is typical for mass-produced or artisan-crafted chip bead jewelry, focusing on the character of the natural material rather than intricate faceting or setting.
