I might have posted this twice- sorry if I did.
This is an order that my 19 year old daughter Nevada built. The buckle body is 14 guage Sterling. The single point edge is pierced in 20 guage and soldered down. The logo is cut in gold and soldered down. Everything is domed, then the back bars etc are soldered down. This is her second buckle, this one much more complex for her than the last. She had 1 month with us this summer, and she got 14 projects done so far. We are all off to Ohio to take part in the Weaver Leather 40th Anniversary Auction. I ( Jeremiah ), will be carving leather, my daughter Nevada will be engraving, and my wife will just stand there and look pretty. What I like the most about this project, it represents 100% of her hand and heart, in this trade we call Silversmithing.
