Description
Authentic Alex and Ani expandable wire bangle featuring a Hamsa hand charm with pavé detailing and multiple Evil Eye protective charms. The signature sliding mechanism allows for an adjustable fit. Finished in a vintage-style gold tone.
Key Features
Stackable design, adjustable size, popular spiritual/meaningful symbols (Hamsa and Evil Eye), recognizable brand identity charms.
Authenticity Indicators
Typical sliding mechanism construction; circular 'c' tag (partially visible) and 'Alex and Ani' stamps on the small round tags. Large confidence in brand identification.
Flaws to Note
Significant metal wear and patina. The finish has rubbed off in several places, particularly on the wire loop. This is common with older Alex and Ani pieces and is difficult to reverse.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark, Mercari, or eBay. Better as part of a 'bundle' or 'lot' of 3-5 bangles to save on shipping costs and attract collectors.
Selling Tips
Photograph the brand tags clearly to prove authenticity. Use keywords like 'Spiritual', 'Protection', 'Boho', and 'Stacking'. Do not use harsh chemicals to clean; use a soft polishing cloth only.
