The 15 round conchos are each set with a hand-cut natural blue turquoise cabochon, rectangular in shape and slightly pillowed. Measurements of the stones range from 3/16" X 1/8" to the largest 5/16" X 1/4".
This sweet little belt with its 15 flower-like conchos and leaf-shaped spacer links is full of character. It was a well worn and treasured favorite showing a little of the many adventures it has experienced. The light weight of this piece also make it ideal for wearing as a necklace or as a hat band as well as at the waist of a light summer dress!
