shagreen/galuchat and silver bracelet/bangle/cuff
Explanation:
Silver and burnished silver have little to do with 'razza', so I am not sure where this term comes from (nor am I sure about the Murano reference).

This said, the stingray hide is normally called 'shagreen' or 'galuchat' in jewellery-related contexts.

Also, depending on what the bracelet looks like, you may want to call it a bangle or a cuff.
