Close-Up | Angled Close-Up

The striking, hand-crafted Fusion - Detroit belt buckle is part of Neil's Fusion Series for the obvious fusing of metals, but also for the more subtle fusion of East and West, classic and traditional, complex and elegant. Neil hand-crafted each of these buckles (and sets) from metal plate, bar, and wire - and each is uniquely sculpted. The Fusion - Detroit belt buckle is true wearable art, and makes a great gift for graduation, retirement, and more.

Neil has been experimenting with different kinds of Mokume-gane of late (winter-spring 2016). The Fusion - Detroit is an unusual and classy, hand-crafted belt buckle made mostly out of Mokume-gane (Japanese for "wood grained metals"). This is a type of Japanese married metal made from diffusion bonded laminates often used in decorating swords. The center piece consists of nickel silver, brass, and copper, while the side plates are sterling silver and copper. The tongue and bail are sterling silver.

This simple and dressy belt buckle is a classy statement on any straight belt strap. It is substantial without being too heavy. We think the sculpted front of the buckle is reminiscent of a classic Detroit car.
