Zuni-Style Multi-Stone Mosaic Inlay Sterling Silver Cuff Bracelet

This is a wide, heavyweight cuff-style bracelet constructed from sterling silver featuring a vibrant mosaic of multi-colored gemstones and materials. The design centers around a rounded square purple cabochon, likely Sugilite or dyed Charoite, framed by a twisted silver rope border. Surrounding this center are various geometric, irregularly-shaped inlays including materials like turquoise, coral, lapis, spiny oyster, and possibly yellow shell or synthetic stones in shades of orange, bright yellow, lime green, and pale pink. The stones are set in individual silver bezels atop a dark, oxidized silver background that provides high contrast. The cuff has a substantial width, approximately 2 inches, with solid silver borders. The craftsmanship suggests a 20th-century Native American Zuni or Zuni-style influence, known for intricate stone-to-stone or channel inlay. The condition appears fair to good; there is visible tarnishing and a dark patina typical of vintage silver, along with minor surface scratches and slight chipping or wear on some of the softer stone inlays, particularly on the lower orange tile. No visible maker's marks are shown, but the complexity of the mosaic indicates skilled hand-construction.
