Cz Tennis Bracelet Appraisal

SW 933 CZ Tennis Bracelet

The item is identified as a tennis bracelet, likely crafted from silver based on the 'SW' (Sterling Silver) mark and a '933' numerical marking, which could imply a silver alloy or a manufacturer's internal code, although 'S925' or '925' is more standard for sterling. The bracelet features 52 stones, identified as cubic zirconia (CZ), set in individual square or rectangular bezels, forming a continuous line. The metal has a polished, bright finish, indicative of silver. The construction appears to be a link-style bracelet, allowing for flexibility. A notable feature is the clasp, which is a box clasp with a safety catch, common for tennis bracelets, and bearing engraved markings. Specifically, the clasp is engraved with 'SW', '933', and 'CHINA'. The 'CHINA' inscription indicates the country of manufacture. The overall condition appears good from the visible portion, with no obvious signs of significant wear or damage to the metal, though the stones' condition (e.g., chips, scratches) cannot be fully assessed from the image. The settings appear secure. This piece reflects a contemporary style, likely manufactured in the late 20th or early 21st century given the 'CHINA' marking and the use of CZ. The craftsmanship appears to be commercially produced, with consistent setting of the stones. The 'SW' mark, while potentially referring to sterling silver, requires further confirmation against standard hallmarks. The presence of '933' is unusual for sterling silver, which is typically marked '925'. This could suggest a different metal composition or a proprietary mark.
