Silver Amethyst Bracelet Appraisal

Sterling Silver Amethyst and Halo Tennis Bracelet

This is a tennis-style bracelet crafted from .925 sterling silver, featuring a series of rectangular-cut genuine amethyst gemstones. Each amethyst stone is bezel-set and surrounded by a halo of small, round, colorless stones, likely cubic zirconia or small diamonds, emphasizing the primary stones and adding sparkle. The silver setting exhibits a bright, polished finish, common for sterling silver jewelry. The bracelet appears to consist of approximately 14-16 individual links, each containing one framed amethyst stone, connected by hidden or integrated hinges, allowing for flexibility. The construction suggests a well-made piece, with consistent sizing and setting of the stones. The amethyst stones display varying shades, ranging from a medium to deep purple, indicative of natural variations. One stone appears to have a slight inclusion or a less saturated color area, detectable upon close inspection. The overall condition appears good with minor signs of wear, such as faint surface scratches on the sterling silver, consistent with gentle use. There are no obvious signs of major damage, repairs, or missing stones. The clasp mechanism, partially visible at one end, appears to be a box clasp with a safety catch, typical for tennis bracelets to ensure secure wear. The design is classic and timeless, often associated with fine or semi-fine jewelry from the late 20th to early 21st century. The craftsmanship, particularly the precision of the stone settings and the articulation of the links, suggests a quality piece, intended for durability and aesthetic appeal.
