Silver-Toned Cuff Bracelet with Malachite, Red Jasper/Carnelian, and Lapis Lazuli/Sodalite Inlay

The item is a silver-toned cuff bracelet featuring a central circular inlay of three distinct stones, or possibly fused stone panels. The bracelet itself appears to be made of polished silver or a silver-plated base metal, exhibiting a smooth, reflective surface with a visible, albeit subtle, patina that suggests some age or wear. Its construction is rigid, as expected of a cuff bracelet, with a continuous band that is open at the back for donning. The central design element is a circular bezel-set stone composition. This composition is divided horizontally into three sections. The topmost section is a reddish-brown stone, likely a variety of jasper or carnelian, showing a relatively uniform color. The middle section is a vibrant green stone with prominent parallel banding, characteristic of malachite. The bottom section is a deep blue stone, possibly lapis lazuli or sodalite, with subtle speckles or veining. The inlay appears flush with the metal bezel, indicating a well-executed setting. There are two simple, unadorned silver-toned rings connecting the central circular element to the main bracelet band, one above and one below, adding to the symmetrical design. The overall condition appears good with minor surface scratches consistent with normal use. The craftsmanship of the metalwork seems competent, and the stone inlay is neatly fitted. Without clearer views of potential marks, it's difficult to ascertain specific manufacturing details, but the style, particularly the use of malachite and what appears to be lapis lazuli, often points to a mid-to-late 20th-century aesthetic, possibly Native American or Southwestern style jewelry, though this is not definitively confirmed without maker's marks. The bracelet's quality appears to be that of a mass-produced piece, but not necessarily of low quality, given the clean stone cuts and setting.
