As a craftsman he is specialised in working in specialist metals that bring a sleek, modern, space-age feel to buckle design.

Being crafted from Zirconium this buckle benefit from being ultra light weight but unbelievably strong. Its strength to density ratio is very similar to Titanium so is used in much the same way for medical \u0026amp; Hi-tech applications. Zirconium is technically more durable than Titanium but we are splitting hairs a bit; both metals are lightweight and strong enough that you generally don’t need to worry about significant dings or dents. Both metals are also scratch-resistant and hypoallergenic. Zirconium comes naturally in a silver gray tone but with heat this sleek matte dark grey tone occurs through oxidization so if you are deciding between this and the Titanium version that may be the differentiator for you!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elliot Rhodes","offers":[{"title":"Gunmetal","offer_id":55337157624182,"sku":"U390","price":2950.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/3731\/4247\/files\/U390_1.jpg?v=1741179751"},{"product_id":"handmade-space-cowboy-buckle-40mm","title":"'Space Cowboy' Zirconium\/Titanium Mix","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg\u003eThis buckle design comes from a new collaboration with Native American jewellery craftsman Pat Pruitt. As a craftsman he is specialised in working in specialist metals that bring a sleek, modern, space-age feel to buckle design. This truly one-of-a-kind belt buckle from our 'Apollo' Collection is a bold expression of elemental beauty and cutting-edge industrial innovation. Conceived by Pat ain his New Mexico studio from a unique metal alloy fabricated in Ukraine, it features a custom laminate of Zirconium and Titanium – two of the rarest and most resilient metals known to man.   The metals are forge-welded under intense heat and pressure, then slowly cooled in a meticulously controlled environment. This gradual process allows the titanium's crystalline structure to expand from the microscopic, revealing intricate, iridescent patterns that shimmer and shift in the light. The vibrant hues emerge from the heat-induced oxidation of the titanium, while the back of the buckle displays the raw titanium crystal structure, stripped of its colour – offering a striking contrast and glimpse into the material's natural state. You can be assured this buckle will last a lifetime and look just as good in 20 years as it does today! A masterpiece and totally original, a buckle that takes you to the 22nd Century!
