Assorted Beaded Charm Bracelet Appraisal

Assorted Beaded Charm Bracelet

This item is an assorted beaded charm bracelet, appearing to be crafted from various types of glass and possibly acrylic beads, with metal findings. The beads are arranged in a generally circular shape, suggesting it is a completed or nearly completed bracelet. The color palette is vibrant and varied, featuring shades of blue, green, pink, yellow, red, orange, and clear. A notable characteristic is the inclusion of several shaped 'charm' beads, such as a light blue turtle, a yellow fish with red accents, a striped fish, a yellow butterfly, a blue blob-like shape, and potentially other animal or whimsical forms. Many of the cylindrical or round beads exhibit a shimmering or iridescent quality, possibly lampwork glass or a foiled inner core. Some clear spherical beads contain glitter, primarily pink. The metal components, likely base metal, consist of small eye pins and jump rings connecting the beads, which are visible as loops protruding from each individual bead. The construction appears to be a series of individual beads strung onto headpins or eyepins and then linked together. The visible condition suggests some wear, with minor oxidation or dullness on some metal findings and a general accumulation of dust or debris in crevices, particularly around the connections. There are no obvious signs of significant damage like breaks or chips, but closer inspection would be required to confirm. The style suggests a playful, informal aesthetic, likely dating from the late 20th to early 21st century, possibly handmade or mass-produced craft jewelry. The craftsmanship, while not high-end, appears consistent for costume jewelry of this type, with all beads securely attached.
