This is a gorgeous and heavy belt. This type of belts is usually coming with a different buckle. At the beginning, I thought that the buckle is a mistake but then I have seen the same in a museum book. The belt end and center elements are inlaid with tiny turquoise and lapis stones. This photo was taken before cleaning. It looks fantastic shiny after cleaning!

    It is really very beautiful. You have such an amazing collection of belts (also my weakness!). Are the silver pieces threaded over leather?

    Dear Nada; Many thanks for your comments. Belts for me are the ultimate in terms of expression for men and women alike and I love the big, heavy pieces! The silver pieces here are threaded over a dark grey fabric belt. By the way, this is a men's belt. With kind regards. Peter
