IT’S ALL IN THE DETAILS
We are thrilled to be able to offer this awesome belt and buckle set by Virgil & Lena Dishta, Jr. This magnificent duo features a detailed wagon-themed inlay of turquoise, onyx, mother of pearl, and tiny hints of coral. The silverwork has a phenomenal level of detail and includes twisted wire, diamond and flower applique and decorative loops. Completing the buckle is a horseshoe shaped sterling silver border. It is paired with a simple black tooled leather belt that helps each of the buckle details pop. If this piece caught your eye just like us then you will not want to pass it up.
