Feeling Unisexy

I have been wanting to test out the idea of this belt buckle for ages now, but it took a friend of mine challenging me to make one for her brother for his birthday to actually get it done.
Isn't it funny how some ideas just make cozy in your mind until the right time to come out ?

I'd say it was the right time, cause I am thrilled with out this turned out.

Simple.
Rustic.
Unisexy
{sure thats not a real world, but maybe if we all use it it will catch on ? I like it}

Tartan Belt Buckle



Hand forged from heavy copper and brass, imprinted with a tartan-esque texture and then oxidized for a rustic imperfect {which is perfectly perfect if you ask me!} satin finish.

The belt is mine - it was made by the lovely Caitlin over at Moxie & Oliver

I'll say it again :

Unisexy


You will be finding this offered Made to Order in this shop : www.bellabijoutoo.etsy.com very soon!

Cowgirl Studs
Copper and Sterling Silver
