Navajo Sterling Silver Belt Buckle with Gem Persian Turquoise Stones

ThisBuckle was made by a talented Navajo artist that somehow had access to an amazing Persian Turquoise Stone. It is older and not signed witha hallmark. Also, it is Not stamped \"Sterling\". It is however, guaranteed to be Sterling Silver and authentic. It has a dark warm tarnish onit on each side. This buckle looks to be in very good condition. There are no dents,cracks,ornoticeable scratches, etc. in the Buckle or the Gem grade Turquoise. This is a well made and \"elegant\" buckle and it has a real magical quality to it because of the magnificent center stone... Please, take a closer look with the magnifier on the picture program.

My local Turquoise expert here in Tucson identified the Gem grade Persian Turquoise Stone for me. There is still a bit of mystery in the 10 surrounding accent Turquoise Stones. They are also rounded on top and would be typical with Persian Stones, and they may be exactly that...or, they may be Sleeping Beauty Mine Stones from right here in Arizona...or even Hubble Trading Post Glass from long ago. When it comes to identifying the accents, I can only guess.This is an exciting buckle for me to trade because of the rarity of such an amazing stone. I can even see this being worn in a more formal setting. I hope you are pleased with what you see...
