Rhinestone Snap Bracelet Appraisal

Faux Leather and Rhinestone Snap Bracelet

This item is a fashion bracelet constructed from what appears to be dark brown, textured faux leather and embellished with an abundance of clear rhinestones and metallic hardware. It features a central circular or oval-shaped focal element, intricately encrusted with numerous small, sparkling rhinestones. This central piece is flanked on either side by segments of the dark brown faux leather band. Each leather segment is punctuated by individual clear rhinestones set into metallic bezels, with at least two visible on the left segment and one on the right segment near the central element, which itself is attached via smaller metallic links. The faux leather exhibits a pebbled or grained texture, giving it the appearance of genuine animal hide. The bracelet secures with a series of snap closures, visible at the terminals of the leather bands. There are at least two or three metallic snaps on one end, suggesting adjustability in length. The metallic components, including the central rhinestone setting, links, bezels for the individual rhinestones on the band, and the snap closures, appear to be a silver-tone metal. The construction suggests a mass-produced item, likely from the contemporary period, within the last 20-30 years. Given its materials and visible craftsmanship, it is a decorative accessory, designed for casual or semi-formal wear. There are no visible condition issues such as damage or significant wear, and the rhinestones appear intact and sparkling, indicating a well-maintained or lightly used piece. Its style is trendy, incorporating both a classic leather look and the sparkle of rhinestones.
