Faceted Deep Red Gemstone or Resin Bead Bracelet

This item is an elasticated stretch bracelet composed of approximately 11 large, faceted rondelle beads. The beads exhibit a rich, deep crimson or burgundy hue. Each bead features a geometric, faceted surface designed to catch and reflect light, although the luster appears somewhat waxy or matte rather than vitreous, suggesting they could be made of a dense resin, dyed composite, or a semi-precious stone such as dyed quartzite or treated jade. The beads are approximately 15mm to 18mm in diameter, giving the piece a chunky, statement-style aesthetic. The construction is simple, utilizing a clear elastic cord threaded through the center of the beads, finished with a visible knot. A handwritten paper price tag is attached with a thin yellow wire, bearing the markings '418' and '3.00', which likely indicates a thrift store or estate sale inventory marking. The condition appears fair to good; while the beads themselves show no major chips or cracks, the internal elastic shows signs of stretching and may require restringing to ensure durability. There are no visible maker's marks or metal components like clasps or bails, indicating a mass-produced contemporary or vintage costume jewelry origin, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century.
