Art Nouveau Style Wide Cuff Bracelet

This is a wide cuff bracelet exhibiting characteristics reminiscent of the Art Nouveau style, possibly an homage or revival piece given its contemporary presentation. The bracelet is constructed from what appears to be a tarnished or oxidized base metal, likely brass or copper, lending it a rich, dark brown to coppery hue. The inner surface appears to be a brighter, polished brass tone. The edges of the cuff are scalloped or wavy, adding a decorative flair. Dominating the front center of the bracelet is a circular, intricate medallion-like embellishment crafted from a lighter, perhaps gold-toned, metal, possibly brass. This central ornament features a complex, interwoven design with swirls, circles, and small perforations or dots, creating an almost organic, stylized floral or abstract motif. A prominent, smooth cabochon-like stone or piece of glass, also in a warm brown or amber color, is set within the center of this embellishment. The craftsmanship appears to be a combination of stamping and possibly hand-finishing, indicated by the detailed but somewhat uniform patterns. There are no immediate visible maker's marks or signatures, suggesting it might be an unsigned artisan piece or mass-produced decorative jewelry. The overall condition shows signs of wear, particularly the dark patina which might be intentional or acquired over time, enhancing its antique aesthetic. The weight displayed on the scale, 3.3, likely indicates its weight in ounces or grams, confirming a substantial feel for a costume jewelry piece. The width of the cuff can be estimated against the ruler markings on the cutting mat, appearing to be approximately 1.5 to 2 inches wide.
