This is the perfect compliment to any outfit, a great accessory to complete that southwest style. A traditional Navajo design made from nickel Silver for a tarnish resistant shine. This is the classic look of the southwest. The shimmer and shine of Silver, it doesn't get any better than that. The scalloped, die struck conchos are finished and hand crafted in our shop. Each concho is 2-1/4" wide by 1-7/8" tall. The total length of the belt is 42-1/4" (adjustable).

Concho belts are one of the most striking articles of Indian Jewelry. Silver Concho belts connected only with silver links and no leather are one of the oldest types of Concho belts. Originally this design was worn from the hip down the side of the leg, not around the waist. They were worn as decorations during the dances and the silver conchos would jingle and bounce alongside the dancer. Later, a white trader converted the design into a belt which became very popular for its simplicity and adjustability.
