Hand-Wrapped Wire Diamond-Shaped Dangle Earrings
Unbranded (Artisan/Handmade) · Jewelry & Watches > Earrings
Era / Decade
Modern/Contemporary (2010s-2020s)
Material
Likely Silver-Plated or Stainless Steel Wire with a Stone/Glass Core; Ear wires appear to be surgical steel or nickel-free alloy.
Condition
Good. The wire wrapping shows slight irregularity consistent with handmade items, and there is minor oxidation/tarnish visible on the surface.
Demand Level
Moderate to Low. Handmade jewelry is abundant in the resale market, making stand-alone pieces harder to flip quickly without a known artist name.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$8.00 - $18.00
Estimated Retail Value
$25.00 - $45.00 (Standard artisan craft fair or Etsy pricing)
Comparable Sales
Similar unbranded wire-wrapped earrings typically sell for $10-$15 on platforms like Poshmark or Mercari, often as part of a bundle or 'Buy One Get One' shop promotion.
Description
Unique pair of handmade wire-wrapped earrings featuring a diamond-shaped silhouette. The design consists of densely layered fine wire cage-wrapping a dark inner bead or stone. Finished with simple silver-tone hook ear wires for a bohemian or industrial aesthetic.
Key Features
Handcrafted appeal, unique one-of-a-kind design, lightweight construction, and popular boho-chic style.
Authenticity Indicators
Handmade construction is evident from the non-uniform wrapping patterns; lack of '925' stamps suggests plated base metal rather than sterling silver. Confidence: High (as Artisan-made).
Flaws to Note
Asymmetrical wrapping (the left earring is wider than the right), visible wire ends that may snag clothing, and minor surface dullness from wear.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Depop or Etsy (best for boho/handmade vibes), or a local flea market/consignment shop.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Boho,' 'Wire Wrapped,' 'Artisan,' and 'Geometric.' Clean with a jewelry polishing cloth before photography. Take photos against a white background or on a model to show scale.
