I fabricate my octopus belt buckle from sterling silver, copper, and brass. I pierce (cut with a jeweler's saw) the knotwork octopus from silver sheet, and engrave the design details. The buckle has a 3" diameter and fits any standard 1 1/2" belt. This listing comes with a 32 - 46 inch, 1 1/2 inch wide, brown or black leather belt.

I had some initial concerns with the penultimate version of the bracelet/cuff I requested, which the designer expertly accommodated prior to shipping the final version. The cuff is beautiful!
Artisans like Alex are why the CustomMade site is so great. He is an absolute master at his craft, and he truly made my vision come alive, in a form better than I had ever imagined. He completely hand-fabricates his artworks - his creations are genuinely works of art - and involves his patrons in every step of the process as well as caters to their every need. I will definitely come back to Alex whenever I am I need of a jeweler. Thank you Alex!
Alex helped me create a unique and special pendant. I had a basic idea in mind and Alex helped me pull it together with helpful suggestions and creative recommendations. Alex is patient, and prompt to answer questions - I asked a lot of them. I recommend him highly, and if the need ever arises, will be a repeat customer. LOVE the pendant, Alex. Thank you.
Working with Alex was awesome and I look forward to many more projects together . He made exactly what I was looking for and even upgraded my shipping free of charge just because I was panicking about time. I would definetly recommend him and his work to anyone. Thanks again Alex
Alex made a desire into reality and created such a beautifully crafted and very personal piece! It is better than I imagined and he was extremely helpful and engaging during the whole process. I am extremely happy with my bracelet and it's a huge success everywhere I go. Thank you so much, Alex!
