Bangle Bracelet Watch Appraisal

Women's Western-Style Bangle Watch

The item is a women's wrist watch, likely a bangle-style, characterized by its distinctive Western or Southwestern aesthetic. The watch features a circular dial, approximately 15-20mm in diameter, with a white or off-white face. Arabic numerals, presumably in black, mark the hours, and thin gold-toned hands indicate the time. The bezel surrounding the watch face is adorned with intricate scrollwork or filigree, giving it a decorative border. The watch case itself appears to be made of a silver-toned metal, possibly sterling silver, silver-plated base metal, or stainless steel, given its luster and color. The watchband is a solid, articulated bracelet, also in a silver-toned metal, featuring a series of rectangular links. These links are embellished with recessed areas and raised decorative elements, creating a textured and dimensional appearance. At the connection points of the watch face to the band, and at various intervals along the band, there are prominent circular 'concho'-like elements. Each concho is intricately designed with a central raised dot surrounded by radiating lines or petals, similar to sunburst or floral motifs, showcasing a typical Southwestern design. The overall construction suggests a robust yet decorative piece. No visible damage or major wear is immediately apparent from the image, though the metal may exhibit some light surface scratches consistent with use. The style period would likely be late 20th century to early 21st century, aligning with popular Western-inspired jewelry trends. The craftsmanship, particularly the detailed metalwork on the bezel and conchos, indicates a moderate to good quality piece of costume or fashion jewelry, possibly even silver if hallmarked.
