Alex And Ani Guardian Angel Expandable Wire Bangle Appraisal

Alex and Ani Guardian Angel Expandable Wire Bangle

This is a yellow gold-tone expandable wire bangle produced by the brand Alex and Ani. The bracelet features a central oval-shaped medallion charm with a high-polish finish. The charm is inscribed with the text 'GUARDIAN ANGEL' in the center, surrounded by an outer rim containing the words 'WATCH OVER ME - PROTECT - EMBRACE'. There is a visible red pigment or residue on the center of the medallion, which appears to be surface wear or transferred matter rather than an original design element. The bangle utilizes the brand's signature sliding mechanism made of thin, flexible metal wire that allows for an adjustable fit. Attached to the wire near the closure points are smaller circular tags, including the 'Alex and Ani' brand identification tag. The overall condition shows signs of moderate wear, with noticeable scratches on the metal surface and gold-tone plating loss common in vintage costume jewelry. This style was popularized in the early to mid-2010s. The craftsmanship is typical of mass-produced contemporary fashion jewelry, designed for stacking and personalization.
