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 long, thick oval of gorgeous blue Royston turquoise marked by dark brown and camel-colored matrix. The stone weighs 55 carats and 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.
