Cable bracelet, attributed to David Yurman (not authenticated)

This piece is a twisted cable-design metal bracelet featuring a two-tone aesthetic with polished yellow-toned metal end caps and a hook-and-eye style clasp mechanism. The primary body of the bracelet displays a thick, helical twisted wire construction characteristic of mid-to-late 20th-century designer luxury jewelry. The physical appearance exhibits a combination of a silver-toned metal body and contrasting yellow-toned metal terminals wrapping the ends of the cable before transitioning into the clasp. Regarding condition, the metal surfaces show moderate surface wear, minor scratching, and standard tarnish consistent with prior handling and use. The visual design is highly characteristic of the iconic cable motifs popularized by luxury brands, and the owner user-attributed this piece as a 'David Yurman Sterling 14K 5mm cable bracelet', though this claim is unverified and not authenticated from the photograph alone. There are no clearly legible hallmarks, maker's marks, or metal purity stamps discernible at this viewing angle. The attribution in the name rests purely on the distinctive visual styling and architectural cable aesthetic associated with the maker, and should be treated as a stylistic hypothesis rather than a verified fact.

Per user submission, the owner identifies this piece as a David Yurman Sterling 14K 5mm cable bracelet. Based on what I can see in the photograph, the item is a two-tone twisted cable-design metal bracelet featuring polished yellow-toned metal end caps and a hook-and-eye clasp mechanism. I cannot verify from a photo alone whether the metal is sterling silver or 14K gold, as there are no clearly legible hallmarks, maker's marks, or purity stamps discernible at this viewing angle. The metal surfaces also exhibit moderate surface wear, minor scratching, and standard tarnish. My valuation range of $350-$650 is assumed strictly for the item *if* the attribution to the luxury designer is correct. In this assumed scenario, the value reflects current secondary market demand for similar pre-owned designer cable bracelets, tempered by the visible wear and tear. If physical inspection reveals the piece to be a reproduction, replica, copy, or merely made 'in the style of' the designer without precious metal content, the value would drop significantly, likely falling into the $50-$150 range typical of fashion jewelry. To confirm authenticity, metal composition, and maker attribution, the bracelet would need physical inspection, hallmark verification through a jeweler's loupe, and potential precious metal acid testing or XRF analysis. Without these steps, the attribution remains a stylistic hypothesis rather than a verified fact, and prospective buyers should factor potential authentication costs into their valuation.
