    Vintage Navajo Sterling Storyteller Concho Belt by Johnsons
    This amazing storyteller concho belt comprises a buckle and 9 conchos, each with a different story! I've pictured every one, so you can see for yourself all the different stories being told. Each concho measures 2" x 3", and weighs about 50 grams (with some variation, of course). These are marked Sterling, JJ for Jerry and Joann Johnson, Navajo artists. You will want to have a belt made for these, and it will need to be 1 1/4" wide. A huge amount of work goes into each concho, which has a flat base plate that is soldered to another plate or plates that has been cut out and filed to show the designs. After soldering, the background is worked and darkened. All hand work! Total weight of all the conchos is 490.2 grams.
    Sorry, this is NOT a "Make Offer" listing. I will not consider or reply to any offers. Thanks!
    Terms for All Buyers:
    Shipping by US Mail ONLY!
    Combined shipping? Yes, I normally can ship multiple purchases together and when that results in a savings, I normally refund the excess to the buyer. In a few cases, the combined shipping doesn't result in a cost savings, particularly for shipments outside the US.
    Returns: I have offered unconditional returns for 29 years. However, due to a recent increase in the number of returns for completely bogus reasons, plus returns in which the buyer damages and then returns goods, I no longer offer unconditional returns through eBay. Some of you may know that established retailers such as L.L. Bean have had to make similar changes to their return policy. Even so, if you have a legitimate problem with an item you receive from me, please let me know WITHIN THREE DAYS, and I WILL resolve the problem.
    International Buyers READ BEFORE YOU BID:
    Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.
    Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.
    I will not falsify customs forms by marking merchandise values below final sale price or by marking items as "gifts".
    NOTICE!! Overseas shipping costs are very high. I have no control over shipping costs.
