Navajo, Hopi & Zuni Belt Buckles — Sandcast, Stamped, Inlay & Overlay in Sterling Silver & Turquoise
A handmade Navajo, Hopi or Zuni belt buckle is one of the most distinctly Southwestern objects a person can wear. The Gordon Collection carries sandcast buckles poured from hand-carved stone molds — each one entirely unique — alongside hand-stamped Navajo fabricated buckles in heavy sterling with turquoise and other stones, Zuni inlay buckles where cut stone, shell, jet, and coral are assembled into precise geometric or figurative designs and stunning Hopi hand cut overlay designs.
Our selection spans vintage collector pieces in turquoise from now-depleted mines, and contemporary work by active silversmiths continuing the tradition. Whether you are looking for a working buckle for daily wear, a statement piece, or a serious collector's acquisition, our Telluride gallery carries more inventory than appears online.
