Old Things Have Stories. This Belt Has Legends.

Every scratch in the leather, every patina on the silver — they're not flaws, they're chapters. This extraordinary vintage Navajo turquoise and antique sterling silver concho & butterfly belt has lived a life, and now it's ready to live yours. Crafted in the tradition of mid-century Southwestern silversmithing, this is the kind of piece that stops people mid-sentence and makes them ask, "Where did you get that?"

Navajo concho belts have roots stretching back to the 19th century, when skilled Indigenous silversmiths began hammering silver coins and ingots into decorative discs — conchos — and adorning leather with them as symbols of wealth, artistry, and identity. By the mid-20th century, these belts had become icons of the American Southwest, coveted by collectors, cowboys, and countercultural icons alike. This belt is a direct descendant of that legacy.

~ The Belt:

This remarkable piece features 12 thick antique sterling silver conchos set along a worn, faded black genuine leather strap — each one a small masterpiece:

• 6 large oval conchos — approx. 3" × 2.25" each, bold and commanding

• 6 stunning butterfly-shaped conchos — approx. 2.25" × 1.25" each, delicate and intricate

• Each concho is centered with a genuine blue turquoise stone, set with care and precision

• The horns buckle is an absolute showpiece — featuring 2 additional genuine blue turquoise stones and extraordinary silver detailing

The silver work surrounding each concho on the faded black leather creates a striking contrast — aged, authentic, and utterly irreplaceable. Sterling silver. Circa mid-century. A gorgeous one-of-a-kind piece with exceptional detail and intricate design.
