Dangle Bracelet Appraisal

Silver-Toned Charm Bracelet with '16' Dangle and Pave Charms

This is a silver-toned charm bracelet, likely sterling silver, featuring a flexible, snake-chain style band. The band appears to be uniformly woven or articulated, giving it a smooth, rounded profile. The overall diameter of the bracelet suggests it's a standard wrist size. Attached to the bracelet are three distinct charms. One charm is a dangle charm, shaped like an openwork circle with the number '16' prominently displayed within it. The '16' is raised and has a polished finish, contrasting with the slightly darkened recesses of the charm. Another charm is a round bead-style charm with intricate openwork or filigree detailing, possibly depicting swirling patterns or scrollwork. The third charm is also a bead-style, cylindrical in shape, and appears to be entirely encrusted with small, dark-colored stones or crystals, giving it a sparkly, paved appearance. The metal of the bracelet and charms exhibits a bright, reflective quality, indicative of polished silver or a similar alloy. There are no obvious signs of severe damage such as bends, breaks, or missing components. However, some minor surface scratches or a slight dulling of the polish, consistent with normal wear, may be present. The darkening within the '16' charm's recesses and the openwork bead suggests intentional oxidation or a natural patina, which can enhance detail. No explicit maker’s marks or hallmarks are visible in the provided image, but the style of the charms, particularly the snake chain and bead/dangle combination, is characteristic of contemporary charm bracelet systems like Pandora or similar brands. The '16' charm suggests it might be a gift for a sixteenth birthday, indicating a modern production period, likely within the last 10-20 years. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with well-defined details on the charms and a seemingly robust chain construction.
