Concha belts are one of the most striking articles of Indian Jewelry. The medallions or plates of silver vary in number according to size. The older type had holes in the center, separated by a bar, through which was passed the strap, forming the belt.
The first belts were made only of conchas, with leather thongs used for fastening. Later, a silver harness buckle was used, then slides of soft copper were used to attach and slide the conchas on belts and, finally, elaborate buckles replaced the leather thongs and simple buckles.
