Description: This listing is for a vintage Navajo belt buckle handcrafted from Sterling Silver and Turquoise. PLEASE VIEW ALL 20 PHOTOS. This vintage belt buckle is in mint condition featuring gorgeous turquoise inlays covering a slightly curved bed of solid sterling silver. The inlays are in excellent condition while resting flush between thick silver channels. They portray bright blue colors with patches of yellowish and tan matrixes….REALLY nice color qualities in these inlays! The surface of the inlays is slightly textured giving them more of a vintage organic look. The design is simple and has the perfect (and practical) size for daily wear. The back of the buckle has a sturdy belt and hole keeper in perfect working condition. There is no sterling stamp which is common in vintage Navajo pieces however, the Artist’s signature is present in the form of several stamps. It appears to be the initials of the Artist, along with a picto hallmark with numbers stamped just below. After researching the stamps I wasn’t able to identify the Artist. The silver has been tested and we guarantee its purity of .925 sterling. This buckle is light weight, comfortable, and gorgeous!!
