The Buckle collection takes inspiration from the dimensional concept of interconnecting pieces that come together using the idea of an oval shape frame over two pieces of gold representing the straps. The "buckle" allows the leather or in this case the gold; to come together affixed by a simple hinge as it is wrapped around the finger; wrist or neck. 100% handcrafted; 100% handcrafted; our savy artisans manufacture every creation using the traditional manufacturing techniques: embellishing; engraving; embossing; hammering and all the polishing and finish. Hand-hammered â Hammering is Vendorafaâs signature technique since the 80s. It takes more than 3 years to train an artisan to properly hammer one of our creations; every artisan hammers differently according to his style and manufacturing sensibility; whereby no two are alike.
