Oval Gem Turquoise and Sterling Silver. 3.0" X 2.19". Will accept a belt of up to 1.5.

68.1 grams = 2.19 Troy ounce. The Daniel "Sunshine" Reeves Sterling Buckle with Gem Turquoise. Is Sterling Silver and Turquoise Belt Buckle was made by the talented and famous Navajo artist Daniel "Sunshine" Reeves using a high level of skill in both design and jewelry construction! "Sunshine" (a boyhood friend of his told me he got this nickname because of his light colored hair) was born in 1964 and became active in the 1980's. He learned his craft from his older brother David, who was 15 years older.

His late brother Gary, also a noteworthy artist, was 2 years older than Sunshine. In addition to his other brother Leroy, additional talented half-brothers Andy, Darrell, and Donovan Cadman must have created a very supportive but competitive environment for them all to thrive in!

Sunshine is a very collected and award winning artist who has established a standard by which so many others are judged. The significance and influence of his work can not be overstated. It is signed with the more recent correct hallmark, "SUNSHINE REEVES" on the reverse.

It is also stamped "STERLING" and is guaranteed to be Sterling Silver. It has a moderate tarnish on it.

The Buckle looks as it should for having been unused and is Like-New, aside from some tarnish. With "NOS", there are no issues with brakes, cracks, chips, noticeable scratches, etc. The Gem Grade Natural Turquoise Green Bisbee? , Sterling Silver, and Hardware are all fine. I believe it will please you..

The design theme in the silver work is exactly what you may hope for and features Sunshine's outstanding stamping. The Gem has a challenge in trying to compete with Sunshine's magnificent stamp work. Sunshine and his contemporaries favor the use of very select Turquoise.

Sunshine seems to take pleasure in creating challenging articles of great beauty. He has created some outstanding Canteens. To many they represent the height of craftsmanship. Take a look and search for a few examples... They are rightfully very expensive. It is a charming piece of his artistry that you will enjoy every day!

As a sort of bonus, it is of heirloom quality. I hope you are pleased with what you see..

As the Navajo say, "Walk in Beauty". I thank You and look forward to sharing a good experience!
