My New Belt Buckle

Just received this belt buckle. The thing weighs a ton and the turquoise is very interesting.

Congrats @diriklolkus! That’s such an impressive pattern. Really like the file work around the stone and the stamp work. It all adds nice texture to the front. :+1:

Yeah, that was an oopsie posting the unrelated materials. She was the love of my life and died unexpectedly. I retired on Friday after 43 years and she was going to follow me in a month or so. Life certainly throws you curves, but this was a doozy. She was loved by everybody who ever met her. I had gotten her a turquoise and silver cross but only got to show it to her in the hospital once.

I’m so sorry for your loss, I cannot imagine. And even if she only got to see the turquoise cross once, I bet she loved it, and it meant a lot to her.
