Award-winning silversmith Jennifer Curtis (daughter of the award-winning silversmith Thomas Curtis Sr) made this very wearable and stunning concha belt. Each of the twelve conchas is 2 inches in diameter and the buckle is 2.5 inches. $6400. (SANTA FE)

At left: judging from the stampwork on the small links I’m pretty certain that this belt dates somewhere between 1930 and the early 1940s. Each concha measures 2 by 1 5/8 inches. Overall the belt is 33 inches long. We can add silver loops to make it longer. (no charge for that). $1100 (TUCSON) See our Vintage gallery for details on this second concho above.

A classically beautiful concha belt. The hallmark on the reverse is AM which is a hallmark attributed to Angeline Miller (Navajo) but honestly, it could be another Navajo smith as this work is not typical of what little I have seen of her work. The buckle and each of the conchas measure 2.75 by 2 1/8 inches. $1275. (TUCSON)

This beautifully designed and crafted concha belt was made by Rick Martinez. He comes from a family of Navajo silversmiths who work in an older style. The buckle measures 3.25 by 2.5 inches and each of the eight conchas is 2 1/8 by 2 5/8 inches. $1450. (SANTA FE)
