Navajo Indian Turquoise Sterling Silver Concho Belt.

This Navajo Indian Turquoise Sterling Silver Concho Belt was made in our shop. This concho belt has literally been off the market for fifteen years. It was originally designed by Richard and Navajo artist Alex Galvin (brother-in-law to Jimmy Emerson). Concho Belts are among the most striking pieces of Indian Jewelry. This Concho Belt has ten conchos and a buckle all hand-made from Sterling Silver. The Sterling Silver buckle and conchos have been hand-stamped with traditional southwestern Native American designs. The buckle and conchos prominently feature gorgeous blue nuggets of genuine Turquoise. Each concho is backed by brown leather with a scalloped edge. This concho belt will match perfectly with any other Silver jewelry that's already in your collection. The buckle is 2-1/8" by 2-3/4" and each of the conchos are 1-5/8" by 2-1/2". The brown leather belt is 54" long and 1-1/8" wide. Stamped Sterling. Signed by the Navajo Indian jewelry artist AG (Alex Galvin).

The Dine' People are a unique group of people still living the traditional life with many oral stories passed down to the younger generation through the Dine' language. The Navajo people have returned to their original name given to them by their holy people. The Dine' land (aka Navajo reservation) on top of Oak Creek Canyon is the largest reservation established for the Dine', covering about 25,000 sq. miles of land, which is located in the Southwest in parts of Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, and Colorado. The Dine' People believe they live within the Four Sacred Mountains.
