Concho belts are one of the most attractive articles of Indian Jewelry. The medallions, or plates of silver, vary in number according to size. The older type had holes in the center,
separated by a bar, through which the strap forming the belt passed. The first belts were made only of conchos with leather thongs used for fastening. Later a silver harness buckle was
used, then slides of soft copper were added to attach and slide the conchos on belts, and finally elaborate buckles replaced the leather thongs and simple buckles. The use of Turquoise and other adornment on conchos date from the 1920's.
