Our mutual passion for belts inspired us to explore whether her extraordinary sculptural talent — and our design experience — could be adapted to the smaller, more intricate format of a belt buckle. Several months and many trips to the foundry later, we unveiled our first collection of bronze and Silver Plated buckles, each one a limited‑edition piece, signed and numbered. This collaboration laid the foundation for a series of sculptural designs that continue to define our most characterful creations today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!--EndFragment --\u003eThis buckle blends symbolic depth with sculptural craftsmanship — a bold cross form wrapped by a finely detailed serpent. Crafted in Silver, the finish enhances every raised spiral, scale, and contour, giving the piece a crisp, tactile presence that feels both mystical and refined.\u003cbr\u003eThe cross features rounded arms with a textured, almost ancient surface, while the serpent coils around it with lifelike movement. Its sculpted head and patterned body add dimension and intensity, creating a design that feels protective, powerful, and steeped in storytelling. The interplay of smooth Silver and intricate detailing gives the buckle a striking three‑dimensional quality.\u003cbr\u003eAt 40mm, this buckle pairs beautifully with wider belts and carries strong unisex appeal. It adds character to smart‑casual styling — elevating denim, leather, or layered looks with a touch of gothic artistry and symbolic edge. The Silver finish keeps the overall aesthetic clean, versatile, and timeless.\u003cbr\u003eThis is a buckle for someone who appreciates expressive motifs, handcrafted detail, and accessories that carry meaning as well as style\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elliot Rhodes","offers":[{"title":"Silver","offer_id":57482990092662,"sku":"U383","price":495.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/3731\/4247\/files\/U383_1.jpg?v=1773845714","url":"https:\/\/elliotrhodes.com\/products\/handmade-floral-cross-gothic-buckle-40mm","provider":"Elliot Rhodes Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
