Our interchangeable system

All the way back in 2009 we had a fortuitous meeting with sculptress Marcela Ganly whose body of work focuses predominantly on the animal world. However, our mutual passion for belts inspired us to try and adapt her wonderful sculpting skills and our design experience to suit the rather smaller format of a belt buckle. Several months and many trips to the foundry later we came up with our first collection of Bronze, Alpaca (German Silver) & Silver Plated buckles, each one limited edition, signed and numbered. These buckles are hand cast using the traditional lost wax technique and hand finished so no two buckles will ever look or be quite the same. As for this particular buckle, for many years our customers have been asking us to make a scarab...so we decided that now was the time. This design is a classic interpretation of the Scarab (wings closed) that can so often be found in Ancient Egyptian scarab jewellery. The shape is neat and wonderfully symmetrical and it is hard not to be absorbed by the dainty detail that really brings him to life. This version is made in bronze but has been silver plated, retaining all of the natural characteristics of the material and will be the most wonderful addition to your belt collection. You can pair it with almost any leather from classic unlined styles if you want to make it more casual, to something more detailed or textured if you want to make more of a statement piece for smarter casual or eveningwear.
How it's made |
Buckle making remains a remarkably traditional skill with most of our designs initially crafted by hand in wax before being melted away to create a mould from which we can cast your buckle. Once cast the buckle is then sent away for the galvanic process which gives it its colour and then any additional details such as enamel or crystals are applied by hand. Whether being made in Italy, France, Mexico, USA or the UK the techniques used remain the same. |
