Articulated Wire Filigree Bangle Bracelet

This item is an original handcrafted wire bangle bracelet, likely constructed from a base metal such as brass or copper with a silver-toned plating. The central design element features a prominent filigree motif consisting of a central spiral flanked by four symmetrical scroll or 'S' curves on either side, creating a vine-like or botanical aesthetic. The wire used for the band is relatively thin, roughly 1-2mm in diameter, suggesting a lightweight and delicate construction. The finish exhibits significant signs of age and wear, including prominent tarnish and patina throughout the metal surfaces, particularly within the recessed areas of the filigree pattern. There is visible loss of the silver-colored plating on the highest points of the wire, revealing a darker under-metal or oxidation. The bracelet's shape appears slightly distorted from its original perfect circle, indicating a softer alloy that has been bent during use. While no maker's marks or stamps are clearly visible in the image, the style and construction are characteristic of mid-20th-century costume jewelry, possibly from the 1960s or 1970s, reflecting an artisanal or bohemian 'handmade' look. The craftsmanship is decent but shows irregularities typical of mass-produced wire-work from that era.
