Vintage Navajo Buckle

Vintage Navajo Spiny Oyster Cluster Belt Buckle | Mary Chavez

A beautifully handcrafted vintage Navajo belt buckle featuring vibrant orange spiny oyster shell set in sterling silver. This classic cluster design centers around an elongated spiny oyster cabochon, surrounded by hand set stones and framed with hand stamped silver work and scalloped edging.

The buckle is signed by the artist Mary Chavez, adding both provenance and collectibility. The warm, natural variation in the spiny oyster shell gives the piece exceptional depth and character, while the bold silver work reflects traditional Navajo craftsmanship.

Designed to fit a 1" belt, this buckle is substantial yet wearable, equally suited for daily wear or as a standout piece in a Southwestern jewelry collection.
