What is a belt buckle?
A belt buckle is a fastener that holds two ends of a belt in place. Manufacturers produce buckles out of a variety of materials, including nylon, plastic and metals such as sterling silver, brass, zinc alloy and pewter. In addition to serving a functional purpose, buckles also enhance the visual appeal of belts. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of belts from some of the world's top boutiques.
