Guy Hoskie Laguna Lace Agate Belt Buckle
This is one of a group of belt buckles that we commissioned Guy Hoskie to make for us. We provided him with the stones for this project and had him make these buckles with 14 gauge Sterling, which is thicker Sterling sheet silver than what is normally used. Consequently, this buckle has nice heft and weight and we think it makes for a better product.
This is a classic Navajo buckle design made to be worn with jeans or other pants with wide belt loops (including most khakis). This buckle has eagle feathers radiating from the center stone, a concentric band of stampwork and a scalloped edge all the way around this oval buckle. This is set with an oval stone of natural, untreated Laguna Lace agate.
Guy's hallmark consists of his initials G and H with the word Sterling stamped between the letters of his initials.
