Year of the Rabbit

2011 - Year of the Rabbit (the rabbit symbolizes graciousness, good manners, sound counsel, kindness and sensitivity to beauty).

Christopher Ross brings art jewelry to the waist with handcrafted belt closures that convey a woman’s personal style with elegance and beauty. Every well-dressed woman knows the power of a statement accessory—from the “it” bag of the moment to a Christopher Ross belt that is destined to become an heirloom.

An accomplished art jeweler/sculptor who gained prominence decades ago for his sculpted animal-themed designs, Ross naturally envisioned the closure of a belt as a potential jewel and a piece of art.

The artisans at Christopher Ross craft each belt closure piece by piece, first hand casting the sculpted design in a silver metallic alloy, and then plating it in rich 24-karat dark gold or sterling silver.

Each limited edition piece is stamped with Christopher Ross’ signature, fingerprint, date and copyright, further enhancing value for collectors. From exotic cats to foxes to horses and hounds, Ross’ sculptural designs are eye catching and unmistakable expressions of a woman’s individuality and discerning taste.
