A beautiful oval-shaped Navajo silver belt buckle set with five large red coral stones, c.1940’s
This buckle is a real serious stunner; a large, oval-shaped fabricated silver buckle set with five absolutely marvelous perfectly matched Mediterranean red coral stones, of a quality and a rich saturated color you just can’t find anymore. The silver buckle is decorated with simple and elegant stampwork designs around the stones and silver twisted-wire ropework and delicate stamping around the perimeter. The five coral stones are each set in plain silver “foldover” style bezels with very finely-detailed silver-wire ropework surrounds. From the quality and detail of the craftsmanship on display here the unknown silversmith who made this buckle clearly knew his business well.
The buckle measures a full-sized 3 1/2” in width and 2 5/8” in height and it will accommodate a belt of up to
1 3/8” in width. The buckle weighs a very comfortable yet substantial 72 grams or 2 1/2 ounces. This buckle is an extremely elegant and striking piece which would work equally well for a man wearing jeans and a tee shirt on a trip to the corner grocery or on a woman rocking a sleek black cocktail dress at a fancy New York City restaurant.
