Synthetically Dyed Turquoise-Style Oval Bead Elastic Bracelet

This item is a single-strand stretch bracelet composed of thirteen flat, oval-shaped beads. The beads exhibit a vibrant cyan-turquoise color with heavy, dark grey to black swirling matrix patterns. Upon close inspection, the uniform saturation and surface sheen suggest the material is likely dyed howlite, magnesite, or a reconstituted composite resin rather than high-grade natural turquoise. The beads are approximately 15mm in length and are strung together on a clear, elastic monofilament cord. The construction is a common 'stretch' style, which lacks a metal clasp or findings. The condition appears fair to good for a decorative fashion piece, though there are visible scuffs on the flat faces of several beads and a slight fraying of the elastic cord near the top-left bead, indicating wear. There are no visible maker's marks, signatures, or metal hallmarks present. The style is contemporary bohemian or southwestern-inspired costume jewelry, likely manufactured within the last 10-20 years. The craftsmanship is mass-market quality, characterized by the simple drilled holes and the use of synthetic or treated minerals to mimic authentic gemstone aesthetics.
