Description from the seller

Vintage Sterling Silver Belt Buckle – Channel Inlay & Hand-Stamped Work (43.0g)

Description
This vintage belt buckle is crafted using the channel inlay technique, featuring an inlay design of two adjoining curved, teardrop-shaped sections, each set with three cleanly separated stones: turquoise, lapis lazuli, and a coral-toned stone consistent with coral or spiny oyster shell (visual assessment only, no laboratory certificate). The inlay is bordered by geometric stamped motifs, with a hand-hammered background texture.
The reverse is stamped "HB" (individual letter stamps) and "Sterling" (a script-style stamp with a capitalized 'S'). No identical catalog record could be located for this piece, and the "HB" initials could not be matched to any specific known artist.
