Need help with bangle

Hi all, once again I need your help with this bangle. It's a vintage estate piece and the lady would be in her late 70's or 80's. She had a fondness for expensive accessories etc but I have no idea what the value of this is. I've tried googling to no avail. 

 

I have no information about it and I haven't tried to clean it up as I don't want to damage it. The white inserts are (I'm fairly sure) mother of pearl.

 

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated, and thank you in advance for your time. IMG_3610.jpegIMG_3609.jpegIMG_3608.jpeg

If you mean mine, there are 3 sets of the inlays, the orange & MOP inlays, and yes they look equidistant. And likewise, there are 3 black sections.

Maybe not - there is a difference.

 

The biggest difference between lacquer and enamel paint is that lacquer is a coating and enamel paint is a paint meant for coloring.
