BUCKLE UP, COWGIRL!

This colorful classic is a 1990s-era vintage creation by Santo Domingo husband-and-wife duo, Brihilda and Frank Coriz, featuring a sleek simple brown leather strap with a sterling silver ranger style buckle adorned with colorful cabochons of orange spiny oyster (heart), turquoise, and sugilite, accompanied by complementing double keepers and tip. Elegant, feminine, and timeless.
