Teal Murano Glass Charm Bead

Era / Decade
2010s (Mass-produced era of European-style charm bracelets)
Material
Glass and unknown base metal (likely silver-plated brass or zinc alloy)
Condition
Good. The glass appears intact without major chips, though the metal core shows signs of oxidation or tarnishing (dull yellowish tint).
Demand Level
Low. The market for generic charms is oversaturated.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$1.00 - $5.00
Estimated Retail Value
$5.00 - $15.00
Comparable Sales
Single unbranded glass beads typically sell in bulk lots (e.g., 20 beads for $10-$15). Individual generic beads rarely sell alone unless they are unique handmade lampwork art.
Description
Add a pop of color to your European-style charm bracelet with this teal Murano-style glass bead. Featuring a smooth, rounded finish and a large-hole metal core compatible with Pandora, Trollbeads, and Chamilia bracelets.
Key Features
Vibrant teal/aquamarine color; universal fit for major charm bracelet brands; smooth glass texture.
Authenticity Indicators
Likely a generic/reproduction. Authentic Pandora beads almost always have 'S925 ALE' or 'PANDORA' engraved on the silver core. This core appears unmarked and lacks the high-shine finish of sterling silver. Confidence: High (Generic).
Flaws to Note
Metal core shows heavy tarnishing/discoloration; photo is out of focus, making it difficult to check for tiny cracks in glass or maker's marks.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace (as part of a bundle), local yard sale, or Mercari (bundled with other charms).
Selling Tips
It is not worth selling as a single item due to shipping costs. Bundle this with 5-10 other charms to create a 'starter set' or 'lot' to make the listing worthwhile. Use a macro lens for clear photos and clean the metal core with a polishing cloth to improve appearance.
