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.
