A PIECE THAT WILL HAVE YOUR HEART SKIPPING BEATS

We’ve never met a concho belt that Geraldine Yazzie created that we didn’t like, and this concho creation is no different. This mesmerizing vintage belt features classic scalloped conchos intricately embellished with sterling silver stampwork and repousse details, and adorned with perfectly polished snake-eye cabochons of deep blue turquoise. The thin leather strap is finished with a complementary buckle featuring a repousse double-mustache design, adorned with bold turquoise stones. A one-of-a-kind collector’s piece that will have your heart skipping a beat.
