Description

This ethnic-style rigid bracelet features an open structure with a patinated gold finish. It is adorned with two round cabochons and an irregularly shaped stone, all set in relief on top of the jewelry. The visible surface of the bracelet is richly decorated with chiseled patterns and small metal beads, accentuating its artisanal and traditional aesthetic. The central, widest piece showcases a natural stone predominantly green, speckled with brown and yellow hues, while the left side stone is rougher, with a typical mineral appearance. The third setting on the right is empty, indicating a missing stone, as specified in the keywords.

The body of the bracelet consists of two parallel rods connected by a central motif and side attachments, forming a solid and decorative framework. The ends of the bracelet terminate in open rings, typical of certain ethnic jewelry, facilitating adjustment to the wrist. The gilding on the metal shows slight wear in places, adding extra charm to the piece.

This piece of jewelry stands out for its artisanal style, evoking traditional jewelry techniques from Central Asia or the Middle East. The polished cabochons contrast with the rougher finishes, creating a harmonious play of textures and a refined visual effect. The embossed patterns and symmetrical composition reinforce the authentic and decorative appeal of the bracelet.

The visible surface shows no identifiable inscriptions or marks. The patina, aged gilding, and the presence of an empty setting indicate prior use. The entire decoration is concentrated on the upper side, with no visibility on the underside or reverse of the jewelry.
