Don Lucas personally told me the value of this is at least $7500-$8000 & if it was made today with today’s prices,it would be more**

Before I go on with the details,I 1st have to get over the overwhelming fact about just how drop dead,fall to your knees, GORGEOUS this concho belt is! The colors are breathtaking!

I know one thing that I can honestly say is, I have seen a lot of concho belts in my life time,but none as beautiful as this!I really think he outdid himself with this one! And the obvious time & love that went into this, is very apparent.

I think it’s one of Don’s best & you will gain respect (Or more respect) as to what caliber of a artist,this man really is..It’s this caliber of work,that validates why Don reigns high on the list at being one of the SW’s top & high in demand,artists.

It is a vintage concho belt & is in perfect,well kept condition.The sterling is darkened & patinated,which really highlights the stones,especially the green variscite color clusters!

One thing about Don is,he knows what stones to use & where to place them for maximum beauty. From using opposite colors like green variscite (that follows the perimeters) to the rich red Italian coral & then using the most vivid orange Spiny Oyster shell along side the bright blue Sleeping beauty turquoise .Lapis is only used in the buckle..

All the stones used are “Gem Quality”, with only the highest grades used. None of these have inferior quality & no form of treatment has been done to them.

Each are embraced by hand sawed serrated bezels.One thing I may note,these types of bezels work their way away from the stone in time,but not these! They are all like new!!

There are 7 good size conchos,8 butterflies + Buckle that are on a 3/4” adjustable brown leather belt.The perimeters have scalloped edges & are hand stamped. This can be worn by man or woman & high on the waist or low on the hips.

The belt is 44” total length & has 11 holes that are at 30-1/2” to 38-1/2” in measurement,with the ability to punch a few more.For the conchos to ‘breath’ without any being removed or scrunched together,it works best at 35” or more.If you want to wear this on your waist & have a small waist,some would have to be removed.

This is a heirloom quality belt & can be passed down from generation to generation & will only look better with time! NOT to be passed up! If you want just one above average concho belt,this is it!!!

The epitome of pure Santa Fe style!
