Awhile back there was a thread that mentioned something to put on a buckle to temporarily convert it to a pendant. I had a buckle permanently converted to a pendant, but that was because I was sure I was never going to wear it as a buckle ( it was a small one and wouldn’t fit on my belts). My new Hopi brooch- Allen Pooyouma!
The discussion about the buckle converter is towards the end of the thread.
Good find on your buckle! I’ve got a Tommy Singer chip inlay cuff and wear it A LOT. Enjoy!
