Description

This costume bracelet features an elegant composition of black faceted beads, strung on an elastic cord and separated by small, silver-finished round beads. A central element particularly catches the eye: a large spherical bead adorned with sparkling rhinestones, which contrasts with the sobriety of the black beads and brings a luminous touch to the whole.

The structure of the bracelet is punctuated by the regular alternation of multi-faceted black beads, creating varied reflections depending on the ambient light. Several silver-finished rings and separators, some of which are set with small clear rhinestones, complete the composition and enhance the sophisticated appearance of the jewel.

The entire piece is mounted on an elastic support (not visible but deduced from the shape and the absence of an apparent clasp), allowing for easy wear and adaptability to different wrist sizes. The overall design evokes a retro chic style, typical of costume jewelry from the 1980s to 2000s, with a glamorous influence marked by the rhinestones and the black/silver contrast.

The bracelet is presented on a red velvet box (included in the photo for presentation purposes only; not specified if it is provided), which highlights the brilliance of the elements and emphasizes the elegance of the jewel.

No brand or inscription is visible on the photographed side. The general condition of the bracelet appears good, with no major apparent defects, although slight traces of use or micro-scratches may be present on the metallic elements, which is common for a second-hand piece of jewelry.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Shows slight traces of use consistent with its age, visible on some silver-plated elements and the facets of the beads. The overall piece remains coherent and ready to wear.

Did you know? Faceted glass or plastic beads, used in costume jewelry since the early 20th century, allow for an inexpensive imitation of precious stones like onyx or crystal. Elastic bracelets were very popular in the 80s-90s for their practicality and adaptability to all wrist sizes.
