Smokey gunmetal grey satin, half overlaid with blank Venice lace - look fabulous over colours as the colour shows up the detail in the lace. Added to that are a series of shop-bought elements with grey crystal rondelles, rivolis, and beads, and some clear rhinestone accents. To that I have added hematite sequins, silver plated chandelier crystals, hematite seed beads and silver bugle beads, and some old Kuchi coins, scalloped and plain. Phew! And for accents on the belt ends, there are a pair of small (for a child, I suspect) solid silver alloy Yemeni bracelets - these are sturdily attached with clear nylon monofilament, and surrounded with silver and hematite beadwork in an Art Deco inspired design.
This beauty is then backed with sturdy denim and plain smooth black polycotton, with a pair of D-rings hidden under the Yemeni bracelets which are used to tie the belt on using any piece of fabric or ribbon you like. She weighs a nice even 1lb (465g) so sits easily on your hips.
Sizes: belt is 33" long from D-ring to D-ring, can fit any size depending on the space you're happy to have between the D-rings. Width-wise, this belt comes in at little over 3.5" (around 9cm)
Here's some pictures for drooling over... ;)

Oh, and Kali, my feline quality tester, has had a good look at this one and it has her paw of approval. She apologises if any of her stray hairs have gotten on the belt! And neither of us smoke... ;)
