OLD VINTAGE SOUTHWESTERN LARGE SILVER MENS BUCKLE TURQUOISE CORAL & LEAVES VG,
Item History & Price
OLD VINTAGE VERY LARGE SOUTHWESTERN SILVER BELT BUCKLE WITH TURQUOISE AND ANCIENT CORAL I believe this is an old buckle because the turquoise has turned blue greenish rather than bright blue. It's probably from Arizona or New Mexico. Leaves are often used in jewelry from this region. Measures 3 1/2" X 2 1/2" and weighs 3 1/2 ounces. Probably, it's either coin silver (about 80% pure) or sterling silver (about 92.5 % pure) Has no maker's or silver mark which is not unusual for older piec...es which were often never meant to be sold to tourists. The black burnished background is part of the design and not caused by tarnish. In VG+ condition with no cracks or chips in the stones and almost no wear. (see all 10 pictures)
