White Cat's Eye Fiber Optic Glass Beaded Bracelet

This is a contemporary fashion bracelet composed of approximately 21 to 23 round beads and one small cylindrical barrel-shaped bead. The beads are crafted from synthetic white 'cat's eye' glass, also known as fiber optic glass, which exhibits a distinct chatoyancy effect across the surface of each bead. This effect creates a bright vertical band of light that mimics a feline eye, moving as the light source or viewing angle changes. The beads appear to be approximately 6mm to 8mm in diameter, held together by a transparent elastic cord, which is visible where the knot is partially tucked into the barrel bead at the top left. The color is a milky, translucent white with a satin-like luster. Regarding condition, the bracelet appears to be in used but fair condition; however, the elastic cord shows signs of stretching or loss of tension, as evidenced by the gaps between beads and the visible knotting. There are no apparent maker's marks or metal components, suggesting a mass-produced costume jewelry origin rather than a fine jewelry piece. The style is minimalist and typical of late 20th-century to modern-day accessory design, often marketed for perceived metaphysical properties or simple aesthetic appeal. The craftsmanship is basic, relying on the natural optical properties of the glass material for visual interest.
