The whole lavalier, including the bale, measures 1-1/2 x 9/16”. Two of the seed pearls are missing but...

Circa mid-century, this belt buckle is collector quality. It's a huge and heavy piece produced by Antonio Pineda, using his "Lascaux" design.

Executed in almost pure 97% silver. This buckle measure...
