Sterling Silver and Turquoise Cuff Bracelet

This is a sterling silver cuff bracelet featuring a prominent, large, irregularly shaped cabochon of turquoise, centrally set. The turquoise displays a vibrant robin's egg blue color, with some areas showing subtle variations in shade or perhaps natural matrixing that is not distinctly visible in the provided images. The stone is smoothly polished and appears to be bezel-set within the silver. The cuff itself is crafted from sterling silver, exhibiting a bright, polished finish that suggests it may have been recently cleaned or is well-maintained. The design on either side of the central turquoise stone features intricate floral and foliate motifs, rendered in a repoussé or chased technique, giving them a three-dimensional effect. These decorative elements include what appear to be stylized leaves and small blossoms, adding an organic aesthetic to the piece. The edges of the cuff, particularly near the opening, have a slightly rolled or rounded finish. Given the visible craftsmanship and use of turquoise, it likely dates from the mid-20th century to contemporary times, possibly Native American Southwestern in style, though specific markings are not visible to confirm this. The overall condition appears excellent, with no obvious signs of significant damage, repairs, or heavy wear. The patina, often present on older silver, is minimal, indicating either careful preservation or recent restoration to its luster. The robust construction and detailed ornamentation suggest good quality craftsmanship.
