Description: Vintage Beaded Belt Buckle, Native American, Sioux This is one of the highest quality beaded belt buckles I've seen with tiny glass beads and a formed leather backing. I've also never seen one made to resemble a Navajo Rug. This came from my Mom's store, which closed in the early 80's. But I remember in the late 70's eyeing this beauty when my mom bought it from the artist, who swore she was never going to try it again and was going to stick to earrings. Fast forward, and it was hidden in a drawer in her shop where she likely hid it for me and forgot about it. Now, sadly, I don't wear belts. So this beauty has never been strapped to a belt. I'd rather someone would buy and enjoy this master belt buckle and show off this artist's work. And, I'm sorry, I don't remember the artist's name. I wish I did. She deserves the recognition. The buckle measures approximately 3" + a 2 1/2" and would easily fit a 1 1/2"- 1 3/4" belt. This is an auction for the most cost-effective promotion. If you want to purchase this before the auction is over, you can offer the full amount and it should automatically accept the offer. Please don't waste your time, or mine offering me half of what I'm selling it for. I can guarantee that would be less than I paid and less than wholesale, as I price my pieces just above wholesale and far from retail.

ALL SALES FINAL Please consider the pictures, therefore, 90% of the description. If you have questions on an item, please ask prior to bidding on it. We try to take photos that are as true to the actual color as we can possibly get. But, keep in mind, every monitor shows colors differently. We attempt to depict any defects in the description. However, the pictures are to be considered the majority of the description.I identify stones to the best of my ability. Turquoise may or may not be treated. If I know it is block turquoise, coral, or opal, I will state so. Understand I am not an expert. I can only base it on why my Dad taught me when he repaired jewelry. I test stones using the hot needle test and if silver isn't marked sterling or 925, I will test using magnet and ice. We do our best to document our items accurately. The only reason we will accept a return is if we misrepresent an item by accident. (I am human.) Please contact us prior to leaving feedback should this be the case. We believe that customers deserve a more personalized buying experience and our feedback demonstrates that. This is our #1 priority. If there is a hallmark, I will do my best to identify the artist. Thank you, in advance, for your purchase.
