Panel Link Bracelet Appraisal

Multi-Stone Panel Link Bracelet

This item is a multi-panel link bracelet, likely crafted from a silver-toned metal, possibly a base metal alloy, given the slight dullness and lack of significant shine suggesting sterling silver or platinum. The bracelet consists of several distinct, bezel-set panels, each featuring a different cabochon-cut gemstone or simulated stone. Each panel is uniform in design, with a decorative, textured border, possibly a filigree or milgrain-like pattern, surrounding the central stone. The stones visible appear to include: a square-shaped stone with turquoise matrix patterning; an oval or circular stone with a creamy, possibly mother-of-pearl or faux pearl appearance; a rectangular faceted stone in a deep green hue with evident marbling, possibly malachite or a simulated green stone; and an oval-shaped stone with a deep blue color and lighter blue/grey inclusions, characteristic of lapis lazuli or a similar natural stone. The links connecting these panels are simple, likely oval or jump rings, suggesting a standard construction method for costume jewelry. The visible condition shows some signs of wear consistent with age and use, including slight dulling of the metal and minor surface scratches on the stones which is common for a vintage piece. There are no obvious signs of significant damage or repairs. The overall craftsmanship suggests a mass-produced piece typical of mid-20th-century costume jewelry, prioritizing visual appeal over precious materials. The piece lacks discernible maker's marks or signatures in the visible areas. The varied stones and linked panel construction are characteristic of pieces from the Mid-Century Modern period, likely dating from the 1940s to 1960s.
