Lobster Clasp Bracelet Appraisal

Gold-Toned Snake Chain Bracelet with Lobser Clasp

This item is a gold-toned bracelet featuring a dense, flat snake chain or tightly woven bismarck chain design. The link pattern is intricate, creating a texture that resembles scales, fitting the 'snake' descriptor. One end of the bracelet terminates in a functional lobster clasp, which appears to be in good working order and matches the overall gold tone of the chain. The other end of the bracelet is distinctively fashioned into what appears to be a stylized serpent's head, complete with discernible facial features, although specific details like eyes or prominent scales are not sharply visible from the image resolution. The bracelet lies flat on a dark, polished surface, likely wood, and exhibits a uniform, bright gold color with a high polish, suggesting either solid gold, gold plating, or a high-quality gold-tone alloy. There are no obvious signs of tarnishing, significant scratches, or wear visible on the surface. The overall condition appears excellent, with good craftsmanship indicated by the consistent link formation and the detailed serpent's head finial. The style suggests a modern or contemporary piece, possibly from the late 20th century onwards, designed to evoke classic animalia or serpentine motifs in jewelry. No maker's marks or specific hallmarks are discernible from the provided images.
