The piece features a wide, domed shape, typical of cuffs from that period, with an open structure allowing it to be worn on the wrist. The visible surface is adorned with a raised decoration consisting of spiral motifs on either side, framing a central circular stone-like or cabochon piece, of an orange-brown color, set in a metallic bezel. The entire bracelet has a patinated metallic finish, with visible traces of oxidation and wear on the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe central decoration draws the eye with its circular inclusion, which evokes a stone or a colored glass insert, displaying shades ranging from brown to dark red. This cabochon is encircled by a metallic ring, and the whole is highlighted by raised volutes, lending a graphic and dynamic appearance typical of the Art Deco style or 1930s costume jewelry. The visible ends of the piece show a spiral motif, worked directly into the metal or applied as an ornament.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe metal's patina, marked by time, gives the object an authentic character and highlights its age. Micro-scratches, oxidation marks, and some surface irregularities are visible, without altering the structural integrity of the component. The dark appearance and subdued shine of the metal suggest an old alloy, but the exact material is not visually identifiable, in accordance with the keywords (\"metal to be identified\").\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe central part, with its mineral or glassy appearance, shows some traces of wear and small scratches, indicating prior use. However, the entire piece of jewelry retains strong aesthetic potential, particularly for restoration, repurposed use in jewelry creation, or display as a vintage decorative item.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis type of component was frequently used in costume jewelry of the interwar period, particularly in cuff bracelets and retro-style sets. The overall aesthetic is part of a decorative trend where geometric shapes and spiral motifs were favored.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
