REPURPOSED BEAUTY
We love when vintage items get a facelift and are repurposed into something even more beautiful. This ingot silver ketoh was transformed into a belt buckle showcasing pure beauty. It features multiple stones of caramel-matrixed turquoise and repousse bump-outs arranged in a flower design. Simple stamping and a vintage leather belt finish this repurposed beauty.
