Figurative Charms Appraisal

Braided Cord Charm Bracelet with Figurative Charms

This item is a charm bracelet featuring a main band constructed from tightly braided black cord. The cord appears to be textile, possibly cotton or a synthetic fiber, exhibiting a consistent and even braid throughout its length. The bracelet is secured by a gold-toned metal clasp, possibly a spring ring clasp or similar, attached to the braided cord ends via small jump rings. Several charms are suspended from the braided cord at various points. These charms are predominantly dark-colored, appearing to be crafted from a material such as pewter, oxidized silver, or a dark-colored resin/plastic. They depict various primitive or tribal-style figurative motifs. One charm is a full-bodied human-like figure with defined features and what appear to be small green inlays for eyes. Another charm is a more abstract, elongated tiki or mask-like face motif with intricate carved or molded details. A third charm is a somewhat amorphous, dark-colored object on the opposite side of the bracelet, whose exact form is less clear but also appears to be figurative. There is another similar, smaller, darker charm hanging near the clasp. The overall aesthetic suggests an ethnic, tribal, or bohemian style. The primary color scheme is black and dark grey/bronze with minor green accents. The craftsmanship appears to be commercial, likely an affordable fashion jewelry piece. Visible condition issues include some general wear consistent with use, such as minor scuffing on the charms and slight fraying of the braided cord, though these are not severe. The gold-toned clasp shows no obvious tarnishing in the image. The estimated age would be contemporary or mid-to-late 20th century. No discernible maker's marks or signatures are visible in the provided images.
