Native Americans from the southwest have paired turquoise with red materials in their jewelry for a long time. Its a beautiful combination of colors and contrast and rooted in symbolic meaning. Coral is not found in any ocean of the Americas. Therefore any “red gold, ” (often called by some artists) that was used in jewelry would have come to the Americas through trade or “Wampum” (trade beads) after the Spanish Conquistadors arrived in 1521. The bright red Mediterranean coral is rare today. The buckle measures 3-1/8″ long, 2-3/8″ wide and weighs 112.1g. The back of the buckle is stamped with the maker’s hallmark. The buckle has been tested and examined for purity and is sterling silver. The shadowbox kachina area is pushed in near the lighting and top of the headdress. The belt buckle in the picture is the one you will receive! For more great deals on authentic Native American Jewelry! We look forward to helping you. Other items – opens in a new window or tab.
