Aurora Borealis (AB) Rhinestone Tennis Bracelet
Unbranded · Jewelry & Watches > Fine/Fashion Jewelry > Bracelets
Era / Decade
1990s-2010s; based on the fold-over clasp style and iridescent AB rhinestone finish.
Material
Gold-tone base metal (likely brass or zinc alloy) and Aurora Borealis coated faceted glass or acrylic rhinestones.
Condition
Good. Metal shows significant signs of tarnish and plating wear on the clasp and edges. Rhinestones appear intact without visible missing stones.
Demand Level
Moderate. Small dainty jewelry is currently trending (Y2K/Soft Girl aesthetic), but non-brand costume pieces sell slower than recognizable names.

$8.00 - $15.00 - $22.00
Estimated Retail Value

Comparable Sales
Similar unbranded fashion tennis bracelets typically sell for $10-$18 on Poshmark. Signed vintage pieces (e.g., Trifari or Monet) would fetch $30+.
Description
Glittering tennis-style bracelet featuring a continuous row of round facets. The stones have a prism-like Aurora Borealis (AB) finish that reflects pastel pinks and yellows. Set in a gold-tone channel setting with a secure fold-over jewelry clasp. Approximately 7 inches in length.
Key Features
Dainty 'tennis' aesthetic; iridescent AB stones are popular for weddings and prom; secure fold-over clasp; versatile gold-tone finish.
Authenticity Indicators
Low confidence in 'brand' authenticity as this is a mass-produced fashion piece. Lack of 'hallmarks' (like 14k or 925) indicates it is costume jewelry rather than fine jewelry.
Flaws to Note
Visible wear to the gold plating on the clasp and underside; metal shows some dullness/tarnish; possible minor scratching on stone facets.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Depop, Poshmark, or Mercari. These platforms are best for trendy, affordable fashion accessories and costume jewelry.
Selling Tips
Clean the metal gently with a soft cloth to remove fingerprints. Use the keywords 'Y2K', 'Aurora Borealis', 'Tennis Bracelet', and 'Iridescent' in the title. Photography is key—take a photo in natural sunlight to catch the rainbow flash of the stones.
