Stone Bead Bracelet

This item is identified as a stone bead bracelet. It is composed of numerous rectangular, pillow-shaped beads, likely carved from a single type of natural stone. The stone exhibits a muted, dark grey or charcoal base color with visible flecks and veins of lighter grey, possibly white or cream, and dark reddish-brown inclusions. The texture appears to be polished, giving it a smooth, semi-lustrous finish, though the natural variations in the stone prevent a uniform reflective surface. Each bead is individually shaped with rounded edges, suggesting careful craftsmanship to maximize comfort when worn. The beads are arranged in a circular formation, indicating they are strung together, though the exact stringing material (elastic, wire, or cord) is not visible. There are no discernible clasps, suggesting it could be an elasticized bracelet designed to slip over the hand, or it relies on a very small, hidden clasp. The overall condition appears good with no obvious chips or cracks visible in the stone. The natural variations in color and translucency within the stone are inherent to its character rather than condition issues. The craftsmanship suggests a focus on creating a wearable, durable piece, possibly from the contemporary period given the simple, clean lines. Absence of maker's marks or signatures is common for bead jewelry. The design is understated and versatile, fitting various styles.
