"Encore" 1978 Baron Buck Brass Belt Buckle Necklace

$ 122.00

We imagine that in 1978 this Baron Buck acoustic guitar belt buckle was purchased by someone who would take it with them through a lifetime filled with a deep love of music. How many concerts has this treasure seen? How many 70s / 80s backstage events has it attended with its owner? The possibilities of this piece feel endless. You can feel the history and love coming from this buckle. After a fair amount of restoration and transformation, this vintage accessory resulted in a very one of a kind necklace that will absolutely have heads turning. The paired chain is a sturdy rounded brass box chain and hangs at 18" with an additional 3.25" for the guitar.

After each artifact or specimen has been discovered it is sent through a careful restoration process before being used in a design. If a particularly unique patina is found to add design value to an artifact, it is preserved and/or sealed to ensure its longevity and protection. Each and every item is made by hand by owners Nathan and Ali, therefore, some small imperfections or variations may be present in your design. To us, this only adds to the beauty and rarity of your particular piece. 1888 Design does not claim ownership over the design or production of any vintage, antique, or otherwise repurposed object used in the creation of our jewelry. 

Each 1888 Design piece contains unique elements of symbolic or historic value that mean something different to us all. Let's break down what the elements in this design are

Guitar

Ahhh the sounds of wood & steel. I got my first guitar when I was 13 and I haven’t gone a day since without picking it up and strumming a few cords. There’s just something about a guitar that brings out our adventurous spirit and deeply ingrained need to tell our stories through song. -Nathan

Belt Buckle

An early, primitive form of buckles have been used for thousands of years, originating with bone or antler buckles with a looped belt. Ancient Rome and China developed the first forms of buckles that are comparable to the types of belt buckles we see today.

FAQ

Can I resize this item?

If a product page does not have a drop down option for size selections, or if the product description does not state a need for the customer to input their desired size in the notes section of their purchase, then we are NOT able to resize the item. Some exceptions can be made with chain lengths. Please reach out to us at inspire@1888design.com and we will try to accommodate as best we can.

Are your earrings hypoallergenic?

All earring posts are made out of sterling silver, stainless steel, or brass metals unless otherwise stated in the product description. Sterling silver and stainless steel are both hypoallergenic metals. Brass can react differently among different skin types, so we advise knowing your body's tolerance to brass prior to purchasing earrings with brass ear posts. Again, all metals used are stated in each product's description tab.

Can I order this as a gift?

Yes! Please leave us a note at checkout stating that this order is a gift along with the name of the recipient so we can address them properly in the packaging.
