Vintage Wire-Wrapped Bypass Ring with Tumbled Stones

This is a vintage wire-wrapped 'bypass' style ring, likely dating from the 1960s to the 1970s, a period popular for handmade, organic, and 'bohemian' jewelry. The ring is constructed from a continuous piece of twisted base metal wire, possibly copper or brass given the dark, aged patina and greenish-brown oxidation visible in the crevices. The band follows a double-bypass design, wrapping around the finger and terminating in two hand-wrought wire cages. These cages secure two irregularly shaped, tumbled semiprecious stones: one is a translucent honey-colored quartz or citrine, and the other is an opaque, dark forest green stone, potentially moss agate or jasper. The craftsmanship is folk-style and artisanal rather than precision-manufactured, evidenced by the uneven wire loops and manual terminations. Condition-wise, the item shows significant surface wear and heavy tarnishing consistent with age and frequent handling. There are no visible maker's marks or metal fineness stamps, which is common for artisanal wire-work of this era. The structural integrity appears sound, though the soft metal wire shows slight bending from use.
