We investigate the lower bound obtained from experimental data of a quantum state ρ, as proposed independently by Gühne et al. and Eisert et al. [1] and apply it to mixed states of three qubits. The measure we consider is the convex-roof extension of the three-tangle [2]. Our findings highlight an intimate relation to lower bounds obtained recently from so-called characteristic curves of a given entanglement measure [3]. For an unstructured admixture to a GHZ state the non-vanishing lower bound is obtained if the GHZ-fidelity of the produced states is larger than 3/4, which reproduces the result obtained from witnesses. We apply the bounds to estimate the three-tangle present in recently performed experiments aimed at producing a three-qubit GHZ state.
