Vintage Sterling Silver Turquoise Coral Belt Buckle – Southwestern Feather Design, Signed “A”

This vintage sterling silver belt buckle features a classic Southwestern design set with natural turquoise and two coral cabochons. The buckle is signed with the maker’s mark “A” on the reverse.

The design showcases traditional hand-tooled feather motifs surrounding a central turquoise stone accented by coral, a style commonly associated with Southwestern silversmithing traditions. The hand-stamped detailing and rope border create a strong dimensional presence that makes this piece stand out as both functional wear and collectible art.

The buckle measures 3.75 inches long by 3 inches tall, making it a substantial statement piece while remaining comfortable for everyday wear.

This listing includes the option to pair the buckle with a custom Bonfe leather belt, available in premium cowhide or buffalo hide with multiple color options.

Because the tribal affiliation of the maker has not been documented, this item is listed as vintage Southwestern sterling silver jewelry in compliance with the Indian Arts & Crafts Act.
