Pair of Embellished Western-Style Belts

This item comprises a pair of two Western-style belts, each featuring extensive embellishment. Both belts share similar design characteristics, including ornate silver-toned buckles and keepers, and a heavily encrusted strap with faceted stones. The buckles on both belts are rectangular with rounded corners, exhibiting a detailed floral or scrollwork engraving across their surfaces, indicative of a classic Western aesthetic. The keepers are also silver-toned and similarly engraved. One belt strap is a light blue or gray material, possibly leather or a synthetic equivalent, completely covered in staggered rows of round, faceted clear and iridescent blue-hued rhinestones of varying sizes. These rhinestones are individually set, creating a shimmering and highly decorative surface. The second belt features a dark, likely black, strap adorned with similar clear and iridescent rhinestones, also in staggered rows and varying sizes. The craftsmanship appears to be commercial grade, with all stones securely set. There are no visible major condition issues such as missing stones or significant wear on the straps, although the close-up view is limited. There are no discernible maker's marks or signatures visible from the provided images. The style suggests a contemporary Western fashion trend, likely produced within the last few decades. The overall impression is one of bold, eye-catching accessories designed to make a fashion statement. The quality appears consistent with mass-produced embellished fashion accessories.
