This is one in a group of large buckles we commissioned Delbert to make for us. We chose large, stunning stones and had these made in a large format. A standard-sized buckle for a Western belt is approximately 3" x 2". Kicking up the size of the buckle allows a much larger stone to be set and this is a buckle for a large man. If, for example, you wear a size 8" bracelet or larger, this is the appropriate relative size buckle for you; standard-sized buckles look puny and inconsequential on you.

This gorgeous, traditional-style buckle is a sculpted-edge rectangular shape. Classic soft S -shaped repoussée forms mark the corners of the buckle. At its center is set a large, thick egg-shaped stone of natural Fox turquoise from Nevada. This stone, which weighs 51 carats, is a superb example of the unique, incomparable shades of blue-green found in the Fox Mine. The stone is set in a straight-edged bezel wrapped with twist wire. Deep, traditional stampwork decorates this classic piece.

Hallmarked with a large capital "D" with a spur extending from it and "Gordon" in smaller letters beneath surrounded by a trailing banner. Also stamped "Sterling" inside.
