Turquoise and Silver-Tone Southwestern Style Cuff Bracelet

This item is a wide, ornate cuff-style bracelet designed in a Southwestern or Native American-inspired aesthetic. The central focus is a large, oval, synthetic or stabilized turquoise cabochon featuring a prominent brown matrix pattern. This central stone is flanked by six smaller teardrop-shaped turquoise cabochons and two large rectangular turquoise stones on the sides. The metal appears to be a silver-toned alloy, likely pewter or silver-plated base metal, rather than solid sterling silver, indicated by the darker, uniform oxidation in the recessed areas. The craftsmanship features extensive decorative metalwork including rope-twist borders around the central stone, raised bead or 'raindrop' accents, and stamped scalloped edges. The condition shows moderate wear with some surface scratches and a heavy patina in the crevices which is likely an intentional antiqued finish. While it mimics traditional Navajo or Zuni styles, the uniformity and cast-metal appearance suggest a mass-produced piece from the late 20th century rather than a unique artisan-crafted historical artifact. The bracelet is substantial in size, designed to wrap around the wrist with an open gap at the back for adjustment.
