DISHTA IS IN HIGH DEMAND!

What was once just admired for its craftsmanship and detail, Dishta’s pieces are now highly coveted and collectible. We are thrilled to be able to offer this awesome buckle and bolo set. This magnificent set features a wagon-themed inlay of turquoise, mother of pearl, and tiny hints of coral. The silverwork has a phenomenal level of detail and includes twisted wire, diamond and flower applique and decorative loops. In addition to the silverwork in the buckle and bolo slide is the absolutely stunning attention to detail in the bolo tips that are the rear view of a wagon with a moving wheel.
