Triple-Stone Wire-Wrapped Bangle Bracelet

This is a bangle bracelet crafted from gold-toned wire, featuring three prominent, irregularly shaped gemstone or crystal components. The bracelet consists of three thinner wires forming the main circular band, which is then wrapped tightly at intervals, particularly around the attachment points of the stones, with a finer gauge of the same gold-toned wire. Each of the three decorative elements appears to be a raw or roughly polished gemstone, exhibiting a translucent to semi-transparent quality with internal inclusions or fibrous structures. One stone has a more defined crystal-like formation, while the other two display a more organic, almost hair-like or entangled fibrous structure within them, suggesting the possibility of rutilated quartz or a similar mineral. The stones are secured to the bangle with intricate wire wrapping that frames and holds them in place. The overall construction suggests a handcrafted or artisan-made piece. The metallic wires show a consistent gold tone, with no obvious signs of significant tarnish or wear, although closer inspection would be needed to determine if it is solid gold, gold-filled, or plated. The piece exhibits a folk art or bohemian aesthetic, likely dating from the late 20th or early 21st century. The condition appears good from the visible angles, with all components intact. The total weight of the bracelet is indicated to be 29 grams, as shown on the digital scale in the image.

Upon visual examination of the Triple-Stone Wire-Wrapped Bangle Bracelet, I assess it as a handcrafted, artisan piece in the bohemian style, likely dating from the late 20th to early 21st century. The total weight is noted as 29 grams. The primary factor limiting the value is the unconfirmed identity of the materials. The 'gold-toned' wire is most likely gold-plated or gold-filled craft wire rather than solid karat gold, and the stones, while visually interesting, appear to be a common variety of quartz, possibly rutilated quartz, which are not considered high-value gemstones. The construction, while intricate, is typical of artisan craft jewelry, which has a specific but limited market. The condition appears to be very good, with all components intact and minimal visible wear. Comparables for similar non-precious-metal, wire-wrapped artisan bracelets with semi-precious stones typically sell in the $50 to $125 range on secondary markets like Etsy or at craft fairs. The demand is moderate within its niche. This appraisal is strictly limited by the inability to perform a physical inspection and testing. To provide a definitive valuation, I would need to perform a scratch test or use an XRF analyzer to determine the metal's composition and karat, if any. Gemological testing would be required to positively identify the stones and assess their quality. Without this verification, the piece must be valued as costume or artisan jewelry made from non-precious materials.
