Christmas Bracelet Appraisal

Christmas-Themed Glass Beaded Bracelet

This is a festive stretch bracelet featuring an assortment of colorful glass beads, predominantly in shades of green, embellished with red and white designs. The bracelet consists of approximately 10-12 individually crafted glass beads, varying slightly in shape from oval to roundish barrel forms. The bead designs include solid transparent dark green beads with white polka dots, lighter transparent green beads with red zigzag patterns, and opaque or semi-transparent green beads with white and red swirls or stripes, reminiscent of candy canes or festive ornaments. Each glass bead appears to be lampwork or Murano-style, indicating individual handcrafting with applied glass details. Between each large glass bead are smaller, textured spacer beads, likely made of a silver-toned metal, possibly base metal or plated, adding a touch of shimmer and separation. The overall construction suggests a stretch design, utilizing an elastic cord for easy wear without a clasp. The colors and patterns strongly evoke a Christmas or holiday theme, making it a seasonal accessory. The beads exhibit a smooth, glossy finish, indicative of polished glass. No visible manufacturing marks or signatures are discernible from the image. The condition appears good, with no obvious chips, cracks, or significant wear to the beads or decoration, and the metal spacers retain their luster. The craftsmanship of the individual beads seems consistent, suggesting a well-made, decorative item, likely dating from a more contemporary period, perhaps late 20th or early 21st century.
