Belt, Concho, Turquoise Clusters, Hallmark, Estate, Private New Mexico Collection, late ‘70s, 1022
JUST… WOW!
We’ve seen some stunners in our day, but man, talk about a statement piece! This vintage (ca. 1975-1985) beauty is not your average concho belt. The gorgeous brown leather strap features 10 sterling silver rectangle conchos and a matching buckle, each featuring 15-16 cabochons of baby blue turquoise with light black matrix, in a variety of shapes, set in tiny serrated bezels and accented by interspersed sterling silver drops. It’s eye-catching and impossible to ignore -- certain to be a conversation starter! Unique piece for the true collector.
