Vintage Zuni Needlepoint Turquoise Belt Buckle

This Vintage Zuni Needlepoint Turquoise Belt Buckle exhibits both Zuni and Navajo techniques, carefully and skillfully crafted. Each Sleeping Beauty Turquoise stone is expertly bezel-set with delicate twist wire accents and elevated geometric silver designs. The finishing touch of small dot edging complements the 3-1/2" by 2-1/2" design, complete with a 1-1/2" keeper. This piece is in excellent, used condition, stamped with the Sterling mark and hallmarked by esteemed silversmith B Betoney (Bill Betoney). Perfectly combining style, stone, and metal, this belt buckle is a must-have for any fashion-forward individual.

Fun note about the artist: Bill Betoney was born and raised on the Navajo Reservation near Teesto, Arizona. During the mid 1970’s, Billy’s wife, Betty, taught him the art of silversmithing. Being artistic, he was a natural at making and creating jewelry.
