Vintage Navajo Chip Inlay Belt Buckle

Vintage Navajo Chip Inlay Belt Buckle

Turquoise & Mediterranean Coral

A vintage Navajo sterling silver belt buckle featuring traditional chip inlay stonework. Natural turquoise and Mediterranean coral fragments are hand-set into recessed geometric channels forming directional lightning and stepped motifs, framed by hand-stamped border details.

This buckle represents the late mid-century Navajo period when silversmiths blended classic stamp work with decorative mosaic stone techniques. The contrasting blue turquoise and deep red coral create a strong Southwestern color balance long associated with protection and harmony in Navajo adornment.

The silver carries a soft aged patina consistent with careful wear and authentic vintage character.
