Beaded Heart Focal Link or Dangle Charm
Unbranded (Likely Handmade or Hobbyist) · Jewelry & Watches > Jewelry Parts & Findings
Era / Decade
2010s-2020s modern construction
Material
Glass 'cat eye' fiber optic beads, silver-tone base metal (likely zinc alloy or tibetan silver), and metal spacer beads.
Condition
Fair to Good. Note that this appears to be a fragmented piece of a larger item (like a bracelet or keychain) as it lacks a functional clasp on one end.
Demand Level
Low. Individual jewelry components have very small profit margins unless sold in bulk lots.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$1.00 - $5.00
Estimated Retail Value
$5.00 - $12.00 as a finished accessory
Comparable Sales
Mixed lots of similar unbranded beaded charms and 'junk jewelry' typically sell for $10-$20 per pound on platforms like eBay.
Description
A decorative jewelry link featuring four glass beads in alternating clear and aqua blue cats-eye styles. The link is accented with silver-tone spacers and finished with a detailed filigree-style metal heart charm. Approximately 2-3 inches in length.
Key Features
Aqua blue cat-eye beads reflect light; detailed bohemian-style heart charm; versatile for DIY crafters or jewelry makers.
Authenticity Indicators
Likely a craft-store assembly (using components from stores like Michael's or Jo-Ann). No hallmark or maker's mark present. Low confidence in brand value.
Flaws to Note
Incomplete item. One end has an open jump ring rather than a clasp or closure. Metal shows slight oxidation/dullness. Not precious metal.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best used as a 'bonus' item in a jewelry jar on eBay, or sold as an 'upcycle' supply on Etsy if combined with other similar beads.
Selling Tips
Do not list this individually as shipping costs will exceed the value. Recommend grouping this with other 'junk drawer' jewelry or craft beads into a 'destash' lot to maximize profit. Use keywords like 'Filigree Heart', 'Boho', and 'Jewelry Supplies'.
