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\u003eThis Silver gliding squid buckle is a natural continuation of that artistic lineage — a beautifully sculpted marine creature captured in motion, its tentacles flowing with elegant, fluid energy. Crafted in Silver, the finish accentuates every contour and textured detail, from the smooth body to the intricately curled tentacles that give the piece its distinctive sense of movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design feels both expressive and refined, balancing playful personality with meticulous craftsmanship. Its three‑dimensional form creates a sculptural presence that elevates the buckle beyond simple functionality, embodying the spirit of wearable art that first inspired our collaboration with Marcela.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 40mm, this buckle pairs perfectly with wider belts and offers strong unisex appeal. It brings individuality to smart‑casual styling — adding a touch of ocean‑inspired artistry to denim, leather, or layered looks. The Silver finish keeps the aesthetic clean, versatile, and effortlessly wearable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a buckle for someone who appreciates imaginative design, sculptural detail, and accessories that carry both joy and artistic heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!--EndFragment --\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elliot Rhodes","offers":[{"title":"Silver","offer_id":57482990125430,"sku":"U363","price":495.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/3731\/4247\/files\/U363_1_fe35c003-7416-4851-8e77-35e4c5e28874.jpg?v=1773939046","url":"https:\/\/elliotrhodes.com\/products\/handmade-gliding-squid-buckle-40mm","provider":"Elliot Rhodes Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
