Featured Silver and rock crystal quartz Arts and Crafts belt?

Hi all! I bought this piece from someone who I buy a lot of lovely antique jewelry from. It seems to be Arts and Crafts, no marks on it be tests as silver and rock crystal quartz cabochons. I bought it to wear as a necklace but believe it is a belt. It measures 35"L. Can you tell me anything else about it eg. possible origin and if it is of the Arts and Crafts period? I believe the silver has been planished. I really do love it. Thanks for any extra info

 

it looks like it would be uncomfortable to wear as a necklace with two of those silver rounds sitting on the back of your neck.......

I think it's a belt also..

 

It's actually not uncomfortable, the rounds just don't sit exactly flat the way I would like them to as a necklace. It does look nice as a belt too, I just don't wear belts much

 

Okay, what!? I'm obsessed with this piece. I would love to wear it as a belt over a black tunic top maybe? Or a soft jersey dress. So cool.

 

Thank you, I love it too!

 

Could it be a type of concho belt? Super fabulouso!!!!

 

I see what you mean, similar in some ways! I bought it from England so I'm thinking a little less likely but always possible!

 

Wow. "Fabulouso" as stated! Certainly looks like sterling. I agree with belt -- I (think) later than Arts and Crafts period. Not that this helps with definitive info, but did the seller know any of the history?

 

Sadly no, I believe it was purchased at auction and not much info given other than likely Arts and Crafts I think!

 

The length should provide a clue as to age. Does it sit at the waist or the hip?

No idea? Couldn't you put it wherever you want, waist or hip? I guess it would depend on your waist or hip size nowadays, it falls just below my waist on to hips.

 

Love those conchos!

 

Beautiful! Looks like the silver has a hammered finish. And @Elen Beattie used the word "planished." New to me, so I learned a new word.
