Aaron Anderson Navajo Sterling Silver Concho Belt Buckle (Nephew of Wilson Begay)
Navajo artist Aaron Anderson, the nephew of renowned silversmith Wilson Begay, handcrafted this bold and beautifully executed concho buckle. Known for intricate applique work and strong, traditional Navajo design language, Anderson continues his family's legacy of master silversmithing with deeply detailed metalwork and classic stone pairings.
The buckle features two natural turquoise cabochons set opposite a branch of Mediterranean coral, with hand-wrought leaf, blossom, and rope border detailing in heavy-gauge sterling silver. The silver surface is textured and domed, giving the piece dimension and presence hallmarks of traditional Navajo craftsmanship from this celebrated family line.
