{"product_id":"1970s-elaine-sam-navajo-sterling-silver-turquoise-coral-belt-buckle-bear-claw","title":"1970s ELAINE SAM Navajo Sterling Silver Turquoise \u0026 Coral Belt Buckle Bear Claw","description":"This beautiful vintage sterling silver belt buckle by the talented Navajo silversmith Elaine Sam is a masterfully crafted piece that showcases the rich detail and dimensionality of classic Southwestern jewelry. The design features four individually bezel set turquoise stones and five branch coral accents arranged around a dramatic bezel set bear claw centerpiece. The area beyond the base of the claw is elevated, creating striking depth and making it the focal point of the buckle. Large sculptural leaves, intricate curly ques, and raindrops of varying sizes flow throughout the composition, while a fine twist wire border and heavy sawtooth frame add texture and visual impact. Stamped NAVAJO HANDMADE ES on the reverse, this substantial buckle is a wonderful example of Elaine Sam’s artistry and a highly collectible piece of vintage Navajo jewelry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition Note: there is a diagonal hairline crack which runs across the width of the smallest turquoise stone. The stone is very secure in its setting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduct Details:\u003cbr\u003e🕰️ Decade: 1970s (estimated)\u003cbr\u003e🪶 Artist: Elaine Sam\u003cbr\u003e🏷️ Material: Sterling silver\u003cbr\u003e🐾 Centerpiece: Bezel set bear claw\u003cbr\u003e💎 Stones: Four turquoise cabochons and five branch coral accents\u003cbr\u003e🌿 Details: Large leaves, curly ques, and varied raindrops\u003cbr\u003e✨ Border: Fine twist wire and heavy sawtooth frame\u003cbr\u003e📐 Construction: Raised platform beneath claw for added dimension\u003cbr\u003e🖋️ Hallmark: NAVAJO HANDMADE ES\u003cbr\u003e👖 Belt Fit: Accommodates belts up to 1.5 inches wide\u003cbr\u003e📏 Total Width: 3.5 inches\u003cbr\u003e📏 Height at Tallest Point: 2.625 inches\u003cbr\u003e⚖️ Total Weight: 83 grams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShipping Information:\u003cbr\u003e🚚 FREE US SHIPPING by USPS Priority Mail with delivery confirmation.\u003cbr\u003e📦 Insurance is additional at actual cost, request before purchasing.\u003cbr\u003e✈️ International shipping available to select countries at actual cost.\u003cbr\u003e🛃 Accurate customs form completion.\u003cbr\u003e💰 Additional taxes and duties charged by your country.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdditional Information:\u003cbr\u003e🔍 This item is sold as pictured and described.
