Double Strand Pearl Bracelet In Lane Crawford Hong Kong Box Appraisal

Double-Strand Pearl Bracelet in 'Lane Crawford Hong Kong' Box

This item is a double-strand pearl bracelet presented in its original, fitted velvet box. The box is rectangular, externally covered in a dark teal or forest green velvet material, and lined internally with a cream or pale gold satin fabric. The inside lid of the box is imprinted with the gold foil text "Lane Crawford Hong Kong," indicating its origin or vendor. The bracelet itself consists of two strands of small, uniformly sized, off-white to cream-colored pearls, likely cultured given their consistent appearance. The pearls exhibit a modest luster. The strands are secured by a visible clasp, which appears to be a decorative box clasp, possibly made of a filigreed or etched dark metal, and featuring a single, slightly larger pearl set in its center. The bracelet's overall condition appears good, though the pearls may show minor variations in shape and color, typical of natural or cultured pearls. The velvet box shows slight wear on its exterior corners and edges consistent with age and handling. The satin lining inside shows some very light discoloration and minor indentations where the bracelet rests, and a faint dark smudge is visible near the clasp's resting spot, suggesting some previous use or minor dirt transfer. The pearl strands appear to be well-strung, with no visible gaps or looseness, suggesting good craftsmanship. Without closer inspection, the exact material of the clasp is difficult to determine, but its decorative nature suggests it's an integral part of the bracelet's design. The style of the box and the imprinting suggest a mid-20th century to late-20th century origin.
