Vintage Concho Belt

Vintage Sterling Silver & Turquoise Concho Belt, Hallmarked "JQ"

We've spent 18 years making jewelry the old-school way, by hand, with no machines. So when we come across a piece where you can still see the maker's hands in every detail, it stops us in our tracks.

This vintage concho belt is one of those pieces. Each domed sterling silver concho was hand-stamped, strike by strike, into a radiating sunburst and finished with a bright turquoise stone at its center. Flip the buckle over and you can see the design pushed right through the metal, the mark of real handwork. No two stamps land exactly alike, and that's the beauty of it. Decades of wear have given the silver a warm, soft patina you simply can't fake. It's strung on black leather and finishes in a matching square buckle, hallmarked "JQ" and "Sterling" on the back by its maker.

Cinch it over a denim dress, wear it low on your favorite jeans, style it how you choose.  It's a one-of-a-kind piece of Western history, ready for its next chapter.
