The inset color in this bracelets comes from reconstituted gemstones:  Lapis.  With the increasing scarcity and escalating cost of these gemstones, tiny chips or cast-offs from the grinding process that are left over from larger projects are further finely ground and then bound or fused with a resin.  This method can be used to create a paste-like consistency that allows the artist to press the mixture inside of even fine lines, to create beautiful detailing.  Alternatively, the resin may be broken into pieces, to give a more "stone-like" appearance
This method allows in silver inlays that appear in the 5 main stones
