Zuni style Cluster Cuff Bracelet

This is a statement cuff bracelet featuring a prominent circular cluster design reminiscent of Zuni Native American jewelry. The central ornament is a large, multi-layered medallion constructed with teardrop-shaped and round cabochons arranged in concentric sunburst or flower patterns. The stones appear to be a variety of turquoise or shell in muted shades of blue, gray, and white, each individually set in silver-toned sawtooth or serrated bezels. The main central medallion is flanked by two smaller similar circular clusters on the sides of the cuff band. The construction utilizes high-shine metal, likely sterling silver or a silver alloy, with visible oxidation or 'patina' in the recessed areas between the stones to provide contrast. The craftsmanship shows a repetitive 'petit point' or 'needlepoint' style typical of mid-to-late 20th-century southwestern jewelry. The overall condition appears excellent with no visible missing stones or major structural deformation, though slight surface wear and natural tarnishing are present on the metalwork. The item lacks a visible hallmark in this view but represents a quality example of folk-style geometric cluster work.
