Handmade buckles: the production process
I insist on real craftsmanship and for this reason I use casting processes, that are customary in the goldsmithing industry. I know that many competitors use the sand casting process, but in my mind this creates "inferior" results.
Disadvantage of sand casting
As is visible in the picture below sand casting produces inferior results. My belt buckles are NEVER made using the (inferior)
Sand casted belt buckles
As you can see the buckle cast using the sand casting process (top) has a much rougher finish than the ones that I make in my work shop (example below).
Casting brass in sand might seem cost-effective, but it often yields dissappointing outcomes. The process can lead to uneven surfaces, pockmarks, and imprecise edges, resulting in subpar quality. These imperfections make the overall result unsatisfactory and less desirable for producing high quality brass belt buckles.
I never use sand casting process to make my belt buckles because there are so many disadvantages. I prefer using other techniques that I may elaborate on in the future.
Materials of handcrafted belt buckles
Our individually handcrafted belt buckles are made of solid brass, sterling silver or a combination of both.
Finishes of personalized belt buckles
Brass can be polished to a high gloss, brushed matt or oxidized to create beautiful vintage effects. Brass belt buckles (when left untreated) will oxidize over time for a wonderful rustic effect.
