Art of the Buckle
About this book
Emmerling and Arndt team up for their fifth book celebrating the art of things people love to collect. Here they bring us fabulous belt buckles from vintage collectibles, trophy buckles, beaded and bejeweled varieties, ranger sets, and classy contemporary designs, all celebrating the fascination with beautiful buckle art. Cowboys and Indians, arrows, horses and longhorns aplenty, sweet hearts, and plenty of other icons decorate these fashionable pieces. And it wouldn't be complete without a nod to the artists who created them.

Information
Contemporary High Style
Today’s artists push the boundaries of materials, processes and forms to create belt buckles as beautiful as any necklace pendant or chunky bracelet. Unique design, totally unexpected and unusual, is the hallmark of contemporary buckle art.
From delicate filigree on one hand, to organic swooshes executed in shiny silver, the creative limits seem unbounded. If butterflies are your thing, or fishing, horses, hearts, or arrows, there is no shortage of exquisite silverwork to appease your appetite for a unique piece of waistline jewelry.
These are buckles we would love to have in our wardrobes —wearable art. I can’t imagine not having dozens of buckles to choose from.
