Authentic, Navajo (Diné) concho belt reminiscent of old pawn jewelry seen in the early days of Diné silversmithing, featuring rustic, natural turquoise cabochons adorning large butterfly-shaped conchos. Produced in the sandcast style—made by pouring molten silver into a mold carved from damp sand. This ancient technique creates uniquely textured, one-of-a-kind pieces that are then attached to a leather belt.

Concho belts have been a part of Native American tradition for generations, symbolizing wealth and status, especially among the Navajo, Zuni, and Hopi tribes. Originally inspired by Spanish silverwork, the concho, derived from the Spanish word concha—meaning “shell”—has become a celebrated cultural adornment.

HATFIELD
The American West is a land of myth, magic, and mystery, the promise of fortunes to be made, scores to be settled, and legacies written in stone. Here amid the purple mountain majesties and fruited plains where buffalo roamed free, stories of buried treasure, oil, and gold beckoned those willing to risk it all: the outlaws, explorers, prospectors, cowboys, settlers, and hobos willing to test their skills and try their luck.
As we mark ten years of Jacques Marie Mage, we return to where it all began: the nascent sparks, the first bold forms, the foundational silhouettes that set our course. With Origins, the inaugural offering from Réserve by JMM, we invite you to rediscover the earliest expressions of our ethos—limited-edition spectacles from the first season of the Circa Collection, which consisted of exactly four styles: the Dealan, Zephirin, Hatfield, And Fountainebleau.
Each Reserve collectible is thoughtfully custom-packaged to Jacques Marie Mage standards, with tailored care to each artifact. Each collectible is accompanied by a JMM Certificate of Authenticity and ID card.
