Howlite Beaded Stretch Bracelet

This item is a beaded stretch bracelet consisting of approximately 20-25 tumbled or irregular shaped beads. The beads vary in appearance, with some being a solid opaque white and others exhibiting distinct grey to black veining and mottling against a white background, characteristic of Howlite. The beads are not perfectly uniform in shape; rather, they appear to be polished to a smooth, somewhat rounded, and flattened 'pebble' or 'nugget' form. Each bead is strung together, likely on an elastic cord, allowing the bracelet to stretch and fit over the hand. The surface of the beads appears smooth and polished, reflecting some light, indicating a good finish. There are no visible signs of wear, chips, or major damage on the beads; the condition appears excellent. No specific maker's marks or signatures are discernible from the image. Based on the material and simple construction, this piece likely dates from the late 20th century to the present day, consistent with contemporary fashion jewelry. The craftsmanship is utilitarian yet aesthetically pleasing, focusing on the natural patterns of the stone. The quality is good for a natural stone beaded bracelet; the selection of beads displays the characteristic patterns of Howlite well.
