Two-Tone Beaded Cuff Bracelet

This is a rectangular, flat, wide cuff-style beaded bracelet, hand-crafted using a bead weaving technique, likely peyote stitch or a variation. It measures approximately 6 to 8 inches in length given its perceived placement on a wrist, and has a width of about 2 to 2.5 inches, covering a significant portion of the wrist when worn. The bracelet is constructed primarily from two sizes and colors of glass seed beads. The dominant color is a vibrant metallic purple or fuchsia, forming a dense, intricate background matrix. Interspersed within this purple matrix are smaller, lighter green or sage-colored beads, which appear to connect and create a repeating diamond or lattice pattern. The smaller green beads are centered within the diamonds formed by the purple beads, giving the design an almost three-dimensional or layered effect. The construction appears tight and uniform, indicating a skilled hand in the beadwork, with no visible loose threads or missing beads. The edges of the bracelet are straight and well-finished, suggesting careful attention to detail. No clasps or closure mechanisms are visible, implying it may be a continuous loop designed to slip over the hand, or the closure is hidden on the underside. Given the prevalence of bead weaving as a craft, this piece is likely of contemporary origin, possibly early 21st century, and is in excellent condition with no discernible wear, damage, or repairs. The beads retain their original luster and color saturation. The quality of the beadwork is high, showcasing precision and consistency in tension and bead placement.
