{"product_id":"gunmetal-metallic-effect-mock-croc-hammered-crystal-frame-belt","title":"Gunmetal Metallic Effect Mock Croc Hammered Crystal Frame Belt","description":"\u003cp\u003eSometime the secret to wearing sparkle well is restraint. A flash at the cuff, a glint at the collar, a little light in just the right place, never too much. This belt understands that perfectly. It has just enough shine to lift an outfit and catch the eye, but its clean, open lines keep everything feeling light, easy and effortlessly cool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe leather is a mock croc with a sleek metallic sheen in gunmetal, drifting across the strap from deep smoky charcoal to soft, glowing pewter, with a hint of violet in the grooves between the scales. The raised scales take the light while the channels around them fall into shadow, giving the strap a cool, liquid shimmer, and at 40mm there’s plenty to admire. Framing it is a softly squared buckle in antique silver, its sides gently rippled and irregular, as if shaped by hand, and set along its edges with a scattering of Swarovski crystals in clear and smoky tones. The crystals add a definite touch of glamour, but because the frame is open and uncluttered, the leather shows right through and the whole belt stays airy rather than heavy. Silver against gunmetal keeps it tonal and refined, while the crystals provide that little extra lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 40mm, this is a belt for smart casual dressing, and it works well for both men who like to dare a little and women. I’d wear it with black jeans, a fine grey knit and a leather jacket for an evening out, or with charcoal trousers and a crisp white shirt. Gunmetal is a smarter, more interesting alternative to black, and it plays beautifully with grey, navy, white and black. On her, it’s lovely slung through dark denim with a silk blouse, or at the waist of a simple black dress. A little sparkle goes a long way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot only is the upper leather full grain quality, the lining is too. And like every belt we make, it’s handcrafted in our small Spanish atelier, where a small team still makes each one by hand and takes the time needed to get every detail right.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elliot Rhodes","offers":[{"title":"Gunmetal","offer_id":59092960018806,"sku":"X092 686T","price":235.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/3731\/4247\/files\/X092686T_1.jpg?v=1792748313","url":"https:\/\/elliotrhodes.com\/products\/gunmetal-metallic-effect-mock-croc-hammered-crystal-frame-belt","provider":"Elliot Rhodes Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
