By creating Chelsey Loren Belts, I hope to bring back a little flavor of the past into each buckle, juxtaposing modern fashion and style with a vintage focus on detail and beauty. Each belt buckle is vintage itself, ornately adorned with fragments of antique jewelry from decades past. One single buckle could have a Victorian cameo from the late 1800s splashed with rhinestones from the 50s... The possibilities are endless.

My favorite pieces to use on belts are those that tell a story. Sorority pendants from 50s charm bracelets, Sweetheart pins from the WWII era, Religious relics from a myriad of faiths and cultures, Engraved hearts from the 1930s....anything beautiful and unique. Instead of collecting dust in an antique dealer's showcase, fragments of jewelry that once were significant to someone can take on a new life on a Chelsey Loren Belt.
