Description
Lovely vintage-style costume bracelet featuring clear faceted bicone beads that catch the light beautifully. The delicate strand is accented by gold-tone spacer beads and secured with a traditional fold-over clasp. Perfect for bridal wear, prom, or adding a touch of sparkle to an everyday outfit. Approximately 7 inches in length.
Key Features
Classic 'diamond' look for a fraction of the cost; faceted beads provide high sparkle; secure fold-over clasp; versatile clear color matches any outfit.
Authenticity Indicators
Likely mass-produced costume jewelry; confidence level is Low for any specific designer without a visible hangtag or hallmark on the clasp. Check the clasp for tiny stamps like '14k' or '925'—if absent, it is base metal.
Flaws to Note
Metal oxidation/tarnishing on the clasp and spacer beads; blurry image prevents checking for tiny chips in the beads or 'Austria' marks on the clasp.
