Lampwork Glass Bracelet Appraisal

Artisan Lampwork Glass Bead Bracelet

This jewelry piece is a single-strand bead bracelet featuring fifteen handmade lampwork glass beads. The beads are spherical and transparent, showcasing an internal decorative core. This core consists of swirling copper-toned or aventurine-style inclusions mixed with a dusty rose-pink frit, creating a textured 'galaxy' or 'moss' effect within the clear glass. The bracelet is constructed on a flexible wire or cord, punctuated by small pink seed beads acting as spacers between the larger glass rounds. The hardware includes a brass or bronze-toned lobster claw clasp attached to a simple jump ring. The metal components show signs of oxidation or a deliberate antique patina, particularly visible on the clasp and end crimps. The glass beads are approximately 8-10mm in diameter. Condition appears fair with no immediate structural fractures visible, though the metal components show surface wear consistent with contemporary costume jewelry. The style is 20th to 21st-century folk or art jewelry, likely assembled from mass-produced glass components or individual artisan beads. The craftsmanship is standard for hobbyist or boutique jewelry, lacking high-end hallmarks or luxury precious metal stamps.
