    LUCKY LEEKITY

    You’ll be feeling lucky if you snag this buckle made by husband-and-wife duo, Lupeta and George Leekity. The buckle itself may be small but has a big personality. There are 10 geometric turquoise cabochons arranged in a random but cohesive fashion. Speckled throughout the stones are sterling silver drops and it is attached to a brown leather belt. Timeless classic, adding this piece to your collection is a must.
