Vintage Zuni Sterling Silver Kingman Turquoise Channel Inlay Belt Buckle
$447.50 $895.00
This vintage Zuni sterling silver belt buckle by RHC is a beautiful example of traditional inlay craftsmanship paired with classic Southwestern style. The design features carefully cut pieces of Kingman turquoise set into a smooth silver setting, creating that clean, precise look Zuni artists are known for. The stone has that unmistakable Kingman color — rich blue tones with subtle natural matrix that adds character without overpowering the design.
The inlay work is tight and well executed in such a way that each stone fits perfectly against the next. It’s the kind of detail you really appreciate up close and a hallmark of authentic Zuni artistry. The buckle has a nice presence without being bulky, so it works just as well for everyday wear as it does for dress or collection display.
The buckle has been tested for silver and will surely make a statement on any outfit you wear.

Thank you for shopping with us at Turquoise Jewelers! 😊
Please note: Most items are vintage. I clean and polish every item I ship due to concerns about germs etc... If you want your purchase left "as is" let me know before shipment. Keep in mind, that means fingerprints etc. In my opinion it's better to polish and if you want the item to tarnish, just leave it on your windowsill for a couple of weeks without wearing.
