Carved Bone or Faux-Bone Eclectic Beaded Bracelet

This is a handcrafted beaded bracelet featuring a variety of cream-colored beads, likely made from carved bovine bone or a high-quality resin 'faux-bone' material. The piece is composed of several distinct bead shapes including two large rectangular focal beads with incised floral and geometric patterns, a central biconical fluted bead with radial brown striping, and an assortment of spherical and round beads. Several of the round beads feature hand-painted or incised floral and dashed motifs in a dark brown pigment that provides a high-contrast ‘scrimshaw’ effect. The construction involves small metallic spacer beads of a bronze or brass tone between each larger bead, all strung on a cord or wire. It is secured with a gold-toned spring ring clasp. The overall style suggests a bohemian or ethnic-inspired aesthetic typical of late 20th-century artisan jewelry (circa 1970s–1990s). The condition appears good with uniform patina and no visible cracks in the beads, though the metal components show slight darkening consistent with age. There are no visible maker's marks, indicating a boutique or artisan origin rather than mass-produced fine jewelry.
