Sterling Silver Turquoise Belt Buckle by WSF (Navajo)

This vintage sterling silver belt buckle signed “WSF” is a clean yet striking example of traditional Navajo silversmithing. The design features five large freeform turquoise stones set in deep sawtooth bezels, each showcasing beautiful natural matrix and variation in tone. The stones are set against a lightly hand-stamped silver base, where a simple repeating pattern around the edge provides subtle framing without overpowering the bold turquoise centerpiece.

Measuring 50 mm x 82 mm (approximately 1.96″ x 3.22″), the buckle has a solid, handcrafted feel with a slightly domed surface and a natural vintage patina that enhances the texture and depth of the silver. The back is stamped “WSF” and “Sterling”, confirming its authenticity and craftsmanship.
