Made by Navajo Indian smiths; this old traditional method of Navajo jewelry making is crafted by pouring molten silver into moulds that are formed in prepared fine sand. Each buckle is from a single pour and each one will vary a little. The pieces are removed from the sand and the artist files and polishes off the imperfections.
Desert Son has long carried work by Navajo sand-cast silversmith Alvin Thompson. His repertoire is large and our inventory varies, as it changes. Here are a few of his sterling silver sand-cast buckles.
