BEAUTIFUL BECENTI
Darryl Becenti has taken the simplicity of a leather belt and added a beautifully crafted sterling silver buckle with an outline of stamp work. The striking center of the buckle has a large oval-shaped King’s Manassa turquoise stone surrounded by spiny oyster orange cabochons. This turquoise and orange color pair is sure to complete any outfit perfectly.
