Faux Gemstone Watch Appraisal

Audrey Brooks Gold-Tone and Faux Gemstone Women's Wristwatch

This is a small, ornate women's wristwatch featuring a gold-tone finish and decorative faux gemstones. The watch has an oval-shaped case with a pearlescent or off-white dial, on which the brand name "Audrey Brooks" is visible in script. The hour markers are represented by small, possibly gold-toned, dots or indices, with no visible numerals. The hands appear to be a gold tone. The bezel and lugs of the watch case are heavily encrusted with clear, round pave-set faux diamonds, which create a sparkling effect. Additionally, there are four larger, square or cushion-cut faux blue gemstones strategically placed on the bezel: one at the '12 o'clock' position and one at the '6 o'clock' position, and two more, one on each side, where the watch band attaches to the case (though these appear to be part of the decorative elements rather than directly on the side lugs). The watch is attached to a matching gold-tone link bracelet, likely assembled from small, rectangular or H-shaped links, typical of costume jewelry watches designed for a delicate appearance. The condition appears to be relatively good with no obvious major damage, such as cracks in the crystal or missing stones, though some wear to the gold-tone plating might be present upon closer inspection due to its age and use. The overall design suggests a late 20th to early 21st-century style, characteristic of affordable fashion watches. The craftsmanship is consistent with mass-produced costume jewelry, prioritizing aesthetic appeal over high-end materials or intricate mechanical movements. The gold-tone finish and liberal use of clear and blue faux gemstones are indicative of a decorative, accessory-oriented piece.
