Wide Band Bracelet Appraisal

Crystal Embellished Wide Bracelet

This item is a decorative bracelet, possibly a cuff or a wide stretch bracelet, characterized by an extensive use of clear crystals. The primary materials appear to be a silver-toned metal, likely a base metal alloy, and various sizes of faceted clear glass or acrylic crystals. The overall shape is rectangular, forming a wide band. The design features a central row of five larger, marquise-cut (or navette-shaped) crystals, each individually prong-set. These larger crystals are flanked and surrounded by numerous smaller, round, brilliant-cut crystals, also individually set, creating a densely embellished surface. The setting style suggests pavé or bead settings for the smaller stones, ensuring maximum sparkle. The metal shows a reflective, bright silver finish, indicating it might be rhodium-plated or a similar treatment to prevent tarnishing and enhance its luster. There are no readily visible maker's marks or signatures in the provided image. The construction appears sturdy, designed to hold the multitude of stones securely. While the exact size cannot be determined from the image, it appears to be a statement piece due to its width and extensive ornamentation. There are no obvious signs of significant damage like missing stones, bent settings, or heavy wear from this single view. The item likely dates from the late 20th to early 21st century, consistent with a contemporary fashion or costume jewelry aesthetic. The craftsmanship, though not fine jewelry grade, appears competent for a mass-produced or fashion accessory item, with all stones present and settings seemingly intact.
