Graduated Amber-Colored Bead Bracelet with Vintage Clasp

This item is a vintage or antique bracelet composed of ten individual, graduated, domed rectangular beads. The beads display a rich, translucent amber or reddish-brown hue with visible internal striations and variations in color, suggestive of natural amber, bakelite, or a similar resin material. The surface of each bead is polished, exhibiting a high-gloss finish that reflects light. The individual beads appear to be strung together, possibly on a band or wire, as indicated by the presence of a metal component on either end. The metal components, likely clasps or findings, are silver-toned and show signs of oxidation or patina, consistent with age. One end clearly shows a simple, possibly slide or Box/Tongue (insert) clasp, which reinforces the 'not a stretch bracelet' context. The graduated size of the beads, with larger ones in the center tapering to smaller ones at the ends, creates an aesthetically pleasing flow. There do not appear to be any overt signs of significant damage such as chips or cracks on the beads, though minor surface wear or scratches may be present given its age. The overall craftsmanship suggests a well-made, solid piece designed for daily wear. The visible inclusions and color variations within the material contribute to its unique character and appearance, hinting at a natural origin or a finely crafted synthetic.
