This stunning belt will make a wonderful addition to your collection. This gorgeous velvet rhinestone belt is quite beautiful and makes for a great addition to your display. As we know with any antique/vintage item it is not in perfect condition. Considering this over 100 years old, it is in good shape. Rhinestones are still very vibrant with a little velvet fray on the ends. There are few missing stones but that's not uncommon for the age. On the underneath side, per photo, there is a stitch that was made. Not sure why or certain if that was done back in the day or by the prior owner but needs to be told to buyer. I took good closeups & video to review. There are some imperfections per photos (some small that you can't see clearly. Example tarnish, discolored or flawed stone....etc), however, I loved it and bought it regardless "as is." This sat behind glass for many years so I hope you enjoy this piece in your collection as much as I have over the past few years. Downsizing my beautiful collection and letting the next person love it as much as I have. Note: Please ask questions. There are many gray areas in antiques and it's not possible to list every detail, flaw. If you are looking for perfect condition, you may need to purchase an item like this in person and bring your magnifying glass to inspect. I don't want anyone to be disappointed thinking that they are getting a "like new" product. ITS OLD and very cohesive in the description. NOT MORE WEAR -NO RETURNS-AS IS!
