WILLIAM SINGER NAVAJO BELT BUCKLE Sterling Silver Turquoise & Coral Tommy's Bro
Large Turquoise & Coral Belt Buckle. 3.2" X 1.9". Will accept a belt of up to 1.2. 47.1 grams = 1.51 Troy Ounces. This wonderful Belt Buckle was made by William Singer, a talented Navajo artist. He was born in 1945. He is the brother of Tommy Singer and started making jewelry in 1973. I believe that perhaps it was made about 40-50 years ago. It is a classic "Chip Inlay" technique, Peyote Bird and Drums themed design, of that time frame. It is stamp signed "SD" with a hallmark depicting the maker. It is not stamped "Sterling" on reverse of the buckle.
It is guaranteed to be Sterling Silver. There is a heavy tarnish.
The Turquoise and Coral "Chip Inlay" is all intact and solid! It is worth examining in the magnified pictures. I believe it will please you.. As the Navajo say, "Walk in Beauty". I thank You and look forward to sharing a good experience!"AMERICAN INDIAN JEWELRY I" - Gregory Schaaf - page 265. "AMERICAN INDIAN JEWELRY II: M-Z" - page.
