- About The Concho Belt with Cerrillos Turquoise Cabs
The handsome chisel and stamp work on the dome oval buckle distinguishes this belt, coupled with its early date of manufacture and decidedly green-toned Cerrillos natural turquoise cabochons.
A new custom leather belt is recommended to dignify the elegant vintage conchos and butterflies. How do we know the date of this belt? First we cross consulted with an expert in the field. Secondarily we examined examples in our significant reference library.
