This is a one of a kind handmade sterling and coin silver buckle and pin combination.
The buckle is an Eye shape stamped and engraved with a Moundbuilder pottery motif and is set with a detachable center pin made from a 1925 U.S. silver dollar.
The pin is a Star design with four Crescent Moons in the Four Directions. It is bead set with 4 very high quality chrome pyrope garnets and 1 andradite garnet in the center.
Removing the center pin reveals a Sun symbol cutout pattern in the center.
I created this buckle about 10 years ago and was very happy to be able to trade back for it recently. |
