Concho Belt with Garnet Insets
NZ$2,250.00
Our Concho Belt includes 16 sterling silver conchos and a butterfly buckle, each adorned with a garnet. While this piece was discovered in Seattle, Washington and showcases traditional Native American craftsmanship, the word “concho” comes from the Spanish “concha,” meaning conch or shell. Concho belts were often made by hammering silver dollars into flat discs and imprinting them with designs. While we're all about stress relief, we prefer to spend our dollars rather than to strike them. Nothing calms the soul like a new (or old) piece of shiny.
