    Gary Reeves Navajo Spiderweb Turquoise Concho Belt
    Th
    is .925 Fine Sterling Silver Concho Belt/Bolo Set was made by the talented and famous Navajo artist Gary Reeves using a high level of skill in both design and jewelry construction in the old traditional style. Gary was born in 1962 and became active in making jewelry in 1974. Like his brother Sunshine Reeves, Gary learned his craft from his older brother David. In addition to his other brother Leroy, additional talented half-brothers Andy, Darrell, and Donovan Cadman must have created a very supportive but competitive environment for them all to thrive in! Gary is a very collected and award winning artist.
    This is a substantial and dramatic Sterling Silver Concho Belt. It has the correct Hallmark stamp "G. Reeves STERLING", and it is guaranteed to be Sterling Silver and authentic. It features 20 plates of Sterling Silver that are partially domed and have design elements in stamp work inspired by traditional Concha (shell) designs. It is belt that is very substantial but it is not too big in size. In fact, this should fit right through the belt loops on your favorite blue jeans...The Black Leather Belt is supple and should provide decades of faithful service for you. If you are looking for a classic Concho Belt made by a great artist, with Gem quality Spiderweb Turquoise, you may have found it. I hope it pleases you!
