Art Deco Style Bracelet Appraisal

Art Deco Style Pearl and Rhinestone Bracelet

This is a delicate, slender bracelet designed in an Art Deco or vintage style, featuring a repeating pattern of small, round, white cabochons, likely imitation pearls, interspersed with clusters of clear, faceted rhinestones. The primary metallic element appears to be a silver-tone metal, possibly sterling silver, white gold, or a silver-plated base metal, exhibiting some tarnishing or darkening in areas, particularly within recessed spaces which accentuates its age and details. The bracelet's construction consists of interconnected small segments, each housing either a single pearl-like bead or a small group of rhinestones, forming a flexible chain. The individual segments appear to be a mix of quatrefoil-like shapes or small floral motifs in some sections, alternating with simple settings for the 'pearls'. The overall length suggests a standard adult wrist size. The clasp mechanism visible at one end is a simple spring-ring clasp, which is functional but may not be original to the piece if it is indeed an older item, or it could be a common replacement. There are no visible maker's marks or stamps in the provided image. The condition appears to be fair to good vintage, with some visible wear consistent with age, including potential discoloration of the metal and some dullness or minor scratching on the 'pearls' and rhinestones. Some of the rhinestones might also be darkened or show slight foil degradation, which is common in older costume jewelry. The craftsmanship, while not high-end fine jewelry, appears consistent with period 'dress' or costume jewelry, designed for aesthetic appeal rather than intrinsic material value, though a close inspection would be needed to confirm material quality.
