I had the pleasure of being a vendor at a craft fair held in Wilmington, NC; called Made in NC. I always make at least one new design for each show. These NC belt buckles, as well as NC key chains, were my newly featured designs. Furthermore, I have upgraded the original design since then so that it now is curved and wears even more beautifully. This buckle could easily be an everyday piece for both men and women.
Before I hand sawed out the North Carolina shape, I hammer textured the entire service. Each “dimple” you see is one strike of my hammer. I used a very thick gauge of copper so that it has a nice weight and it is extremely durable! The findings soldered on the back are also copper; and like most of my pieces, I have finished it with a patina which helps bring out its detailed textures. My favorite thing about this buckle is that I designed it to be the width of the leather belt it fits (1 1/4″) so it lines up wonderfully when worn.
This buckle is also available in sterling silver or copper.
