Broken Faux-Turquoise and Rhinestone Stretch Bracelet

This item is a contemporary fashion or costume jewelry stretch bracelet, currently in a state of disrepair. The bracelet is constructed from several rectangular metal links with a dark, antiqued silver-tone or gunmetal finish. Each primary link features a centrally mounted, oval cabochon of simulated turquoise, likely made from plastic or resin, characterized by a uniform teal color with dark veining meant to mimic natural stone. Between these large links are smaller vertical spacer bars encrusted with small, clear glass rhinestones. The construction relies on internal elastic cordage, which has snapped and frayed, as evidenced by the loose tan strings and the disjointed segments of the bracelet. The metal links show a textured, cross-hatched pattern on the surface to add visual interest. Based on the materials and assembly method, this appears to be a mass-produced modern piece from the late 20th or early 21st century. The condition is poor due to the structural failure of the elastic cord, though the individual decorative components appear intact without significant loss of stones or metal oxidation.
