Large Navajo sterling silver belt buckle by Wilford Nez, featuring a striking cluster of natural turquoise cabochons set in serrated bezels. The stones display attractive blue color with natural matrix and are arranged in a traditional Navajo cluster pattern accented by hand-applied silver raindrop elements and a twisted rope border.
The reverse is stamped “WNEZ” and “STERLING,” identifying the work of Navajo silversmith Wilford Nez. The buckle retains its original belt bar and hook fitting. Pieces by Nez featuring substantial turquoise cluster work are sought after by collectors of Southwestern and Native American jewelry.
A bold and visually impressive example of Navajo turquoise and sterling silver jewelry suitable for wear or collection.
