Black Hills Gold Style Belt Buckle with Leather Belt

This item is an ornate belt buckle, likely crafted in the 'Black Hills Gold' style, attached to a medium brown leather belt. The buckle is oval-shaped with a black background, providing a stark contrast to the metallic embellishments. The primary visible materials are gold-tone and rose gold-tone metals, suggesting a multi-toned gold alloy characteristic of Black Hills Gold. The center of the buckle features a prominent motif of grape leaves and grape clusters, rendered in both gold and rose gold tones, creating a three-dimensional, textured effect. Surrounding this central design is a black diamond-shaped inset, bordered by a thin gold-colored line and then by a thicker, intricately patterned gold-tone border. The outer edges of the buckle are also a detailed gold-tone pattern, likely achieved through engraving or stamping, forming a textured background that mimics foliage or florets. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with fine details visible in the metallic work. There are no obvious signs of significant damage, heavy wear, or repairs visible in the provided image; the metallic elements retain their luster, and the black background appears uniform. The buckle is attached to a sturdy, medium brown leather belt with a discernible embossed or carved pattern along its edge, adding to a Western or artisanal aesthetic. The belt itself shows some curvature consistent with use or storage, but its overall condition appears good. The combination of the multi-toned metallic design and the rich leather suggests a stylish accessory, potentially from the mid to late 20th century or a contemporary piece designed in a heritage style.
