My first try at belt buckles

Thought I would give this a try. These are just plated, lower cost buckles that I used for my first attempt at mounting the stones. Not very happy with the quality of the mount attachments. I had to add some thread lock to make sure the screws would stay put. Getting the stone cut down to the proper thickness and making sure the shape and slope of the stone was good was a nice exercise for me.

Anyway, here they are!

Some kind of pretty green stone;



A red agate, I think;


Blue quartz from kap, I think;


And, kaleidoscope jasper from Ralph and Maryann;


If I can find some sterling silver blanks, I would someday like to make some with some really pretty stone.

Thanks for lookin'

Mike
