Era / Decade
Late 1990s to Early 2000s (Y2K)
Material
Glass seed beads, elastic cord, and base metal vertical spacer bars with a gold-tone finish.
Condition
Good. The beads appear intact, but the elastic cord shows signs of sagging/stretching, which causes gaps between the bead rows.
Demand Level
Moderate. There is a steady interest in Y2K fashion and 'Boho' accessories, particularly during the spring/summer festival season.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$8.00 - $18.00
Estimated Retail Value

Comparable Sales
Similar unbranded glass bead stretch cuffs typically sell for $10-$15 on platforms like Depop. Higher-end versions by brands like Chan Luu can fetch significantly more, but those use silk cord and semi-precious stones which are not present here.
Description
Boho-style multi-strand beaded cuff bracelet featuring a vibrant palette of turquoise, mint green, and cobalt blue glass seed beads. This stretch-style bracelet is divided by gold-tone vertical bars, creating a structured yet flexible fit suitable for most wrist sizes.
Key Features
Vibrant blue and green colorway, trendy Y2K aesthetic, comfortable stretch fit, multi-strand layered look without the tangling of individual bracelets.
Authenticity Indicators
Mass-market construction typical of fast-fashion retailers like Claire's, Target, or Charming Charlie. No hallmarking or designer tags present. Confidence: High (item is generic fashion jewelry).
Flaws to Note
Visible stretching of the interior elastic cord. The tension is no longer tight, resulting in uneven spacing between bead rows. Slight finish wear on the metal spacer bars.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Depop, Poshmark, or Mercari. These platforms cater well to younger audiences looking for affordable vintage-style accessories and Y2K aesthetic items.
Selling Tips
Photograph against a white background or on a wrist to show scale. Use keywords like 'Y2K', 'Boho', 'Seed Bead', 'Stretch Cuff', and 'Festival Jewelry'. Given the low individual value, this item would maximize profit if bundled with other similar blue/green jewelry pieces.
