conchos

Ornamental metal rounds

Conchos are decorative metal discs, typically silver or silver-toned, featuring ornate stamped or engraved designs.

They originated in the American Southwest and are closely associated with Native American and Western style, appearing on leather belts, hatbands, bridles, and other accessories.

A concho belt features a series of these discs attached to a leather strap.
