Belt Buckles Tips
Caring for your belt and belt buckles
Tips to keep your belt and belt buckle looking new:
- If your belt is leather, condition it every six months to keep the leather shiny and to prevent it from drying out.
- Gold belt buckles should be cleaned with warm water and non-detergent soap. Scrub the gold belt buckle with a soft-bristled brush to avoid scratching it.
- Silver belt buckles should be cleaned with silver polish and a soft cloth as soon as the metal begins to appear tarnished.

Investment Casting Method
The lost wax investment casting method is used to make sterling silver belt buckles and other types of metal jewelry. First, a belt buckle design is sculpted in wax. Next, the wax sculpture is covered with plaster and allowed to dry. The plaster covered sculpture is baked in a kiln, and the wax melts away to leave a plaster mold. Sterling silver is then poured into the mold. After cooling, the plaster is broken off to reveal the sterling silver buckle casting.
