What is this bracelet?

[theshoppingmom2]

Very very weird bracelet with tags still attached but not much information. I think  the beads are just plastic since the spacers are plastic... what does everyone think?

and the thread is so old looking. Any key words I can use to describe these beads... they look like rocks  or rough glass to me ... but heck I dont know much , LOL

It looks as though the stretch string has lost it's stretch.  As for what the beads look like ... I think unique plastic beads is a nice way to describe them.

Dont be too hasty! I googled the name and MarieCaroline de Longchamp has made jewelry for Givenchy, Guy Laroche, Angelo Tarlazzi, and Nordstroms.  Those beads may be carved amber.  The item may have some issues with the elastic but the beads may have some value all by themselves being by this lady and if they are amber.

Could be.  I see what appears to be $225.00 price tage written on the tag.

@flipping_treasures  the string is not stretch is just cord , the beads are definately plastic , very light

@rixstuff  yes I did a search and saw that she had done some designing for big  brands... she is now an interior decorator 

I just cant find any of the jewelry she designed.  The tags was what called my attention when I first saw it 🙂

thank you all  for your help!

First impression of the beads is that they're raw, low-grade amber. Making that suggestion because I've had a couple of pieces of what looks like the same thing in a more typical shade of yellow. If that's what they are then they'd be stabilized in some way. Mine have been very brittle.

Maybe try contacting MCdeL directly through her capacity as an interior decorator, she probably has a website and may enjoy a blast from her past as a jewelry designer.
I'm sure she would have a recollection of the materials used and an idea of when she created this.

Here's another (similar) piece of costume jewelry she designed.  Sold on this auction site for 30 euros.

@debora_34_ thanks for posting this... the spacers are identical to my bracelet

Here are a couple of photos of the last of my pieces of amber. If I drop it on the floor it'll probably end up in 50 pieces.

Beads look like they have drizzle lines like found on wedding cake beads. I don't know if that is possible with plastic or Amber. Maybe a soft material rolled on a patterned template then a hole made in the irregular bead?
