Silver Anniversary Buckles







My most recent creations are Buckles! A matched set for a Silver Anniversary gift. I learned a lot...especially about how to control the heat on a casting torch..but overall, they turned out the way I had envisioned them. The man's buckle measured 3 1/2" by 2 1/2". The worman's buckle was 2" by 3". The Logo is a quail's head with a horse shoe around it. I used a total of 6 oz. of sterling silver. The surfaces are hammered, the black parts, darkened with an acid wash.
