Dolphin Bracelet Appraisal

Dolphin Link Bracelet

This item is a link bracelet, featuring a repeating motif of stylized dolphins. Each dolphin link appears to be crafted from a polished golden-colored metal, possibly yellow gold or a gold-plated alloy, given its lustrous sheen. The dolphins are depicted in a somewhat abstract, streamlined form, with a distinct head, body, and tail fin. A small, concave indentation on each dolphin's 'head' suggests an eye detail. The links are connected by small, spherical 'beads' or connectors, which appear to be made of a different, lighter-colored metal, possibly white gold, silver, or a contrasting base metal, creating a bicolor effect. There are two such spherical connectors flanking each end of the dolphin links, allowing articulation. The construction seems robust, indicating a well-assembled piece. The overall condition appears good with a bright polish, though a few minor surface scratches or signs of wear consistent with use may be present, particularly on the raised spherical connectors. No obvious damage such as breaks, dents, or significant discoloration is visible from the provided image. There are no discernible maker's marks or signatures visible. The design suggests a contemporary or late 20th-century style, favoring whimsical and animal-themed jewelry. The craftsmanship, while appearing solid, is difficult to assess in detail without clearer images of the reverse side or clasps, but the uniform shape and polish of the links suggest a mass-produced or a well-finished artisan piece. The bracelet's length is not determinable from the single image, but it appears to be designed for wear on the wrist.
