Story
Bronze has been the backbone of human adornment for over 5,000 years, but it saw a massive resurgence in the 1960s and 70s as artists rejected the 'shiny and perfect' look of commercial gold.
Maker / Origin
While the 'BRONZE' stamp is a material mark rather than a maker's signature, this style is highly characteristic of the mid-century Studio Jewelry movement.
Condition & Value
The piece shows a lovely aged patina, which is exactly what you want to see in vintage bronze. There is some minor surface oxidation and wear consistent with age, but the structural integrity of the weave remains strong. The dark recesses of the braid help the golden highlights of the wire pop.
