Vintage Navajo Sterling Silver & Turquoise Belt Buckle by Wilson Begay - Estate
This exceptional vintage belt buckle by renowned Navajo silversmith Wilson Begay is a standout example of traditional Diné silverwork. Crafted from heavy-gauge sterling silver, the buckle features finely executed hand-stamped and repoussé designs, radiating outward in a bold sunburst pattern from a natural turquoise cabochon set at the center.
Each detail, from the deeply chiseled stamp work to the scalloped edges, speaks to Wilson Begay’s mastery of balance and form. The vibrant turquoise—most likely from a Southwestern U.S. mine such as Kingman—adds a vivid contrast against the aged silver’s soft patina.
