Costume Bracelet Appraisal

Costume Bracelet with Blue Heart Gemstones

This item is a costume jewelry bracelet featuring heart-shaped blue gemstones, likely made of glass or synthetic crystal, set in a silver-tone metal. Each heart-shaped stone is surrounded by a halo of small, clear, round brilliant-cut rhinestones, which appear to be prong-set, giving the appearance of pavé diamonds. There are six visible heart-shaped segments, linked together by simple metal loops. The overall construction suggests a modular design, allowing the bracelet to articulate flexibly around the wrist. The metal setting appears to be a base metal alloy, possibly rhodium-plated or silver-plated, given its bright, reflective finish and the typical materials used in costume jewelry. There are no visible signs of precious metal hallmarks or stamps. The condition appears to be relatively new, as it is presented in a white, possibly satin-lined, gift box, indicative of a retail purchase. A pink retail tag is attached near one end of the bracelet, with visible text 'SKU#' and a numerical code '1799003', suggesting it is a mass-produced item. There are no obvious signs of wear, damage, or missing stones. The craftsmanship is consistent with mass-produced costume jewelry, designed to emulate fine jewelry with a bright, eye-catching aesthetic. The style is romantic and glamorous, reminiscent of contemporary or late 20th-century costume jewelry trends.
