Duquesa Vespera girdle belt in antique bronze and your choice of gem color. Quad set gems style the Duquesa Vespera in a striking regal tone. Ornate and dignified, the tones of this continuous length belt invoke images of knights and castles of medieval lore. This baroquely bold belt is designed with a dramatic 18” drop crowned with a key pendant. Domed pearls and patina rich antique bronze mimic authentic Spanish gildings, while the key pendant ties the historical elements together. This continuous length belt fastens with a hook closure for a variable fit. If you prefer a longer drop length, simply order one or more sizes larger than recommended in the size chart below. Each size up adds 5” of length to the belt. Customization options include a floral cross pendant in place of the key. Gem color selection includes black onyx, emerald green, blue sapphire, light sapphire, ruby red, golden topaz, orchid purple, white pearl, and ivory pearl.

When ordering items such as belts, chains, and livery collars, it is highly recommended that you measure before ordering. Don’t have a tape measure? You can use a ruler or another object with a known length and a piece of string. Or you can search the internet for “printable tape measure”, print it out, tape/glue together, and measure away. 4 Easy steps for a proper fitting belt: 1. Put on your costume, or a garment with a similar amount of bulk 2. Determine where you will wear your belt (at your waist or lower on your hips?) 3. Measure the part of your body where the belt will lay. 4. Use the following size scale when ordering 20-25" = 2xSmall 25-30" = xSmall 30-35" = Small 35-40" = Medium 40-45" = Large 45-50" = xLarge 50-55" = 2xLarge 55-60" = 3xLarge 60-65" = 4xLarge 65-70" = 5xLarge Quality comes first at Many Moons Emporium. Each item is expertly handcrafted using quality materials. However, it should be noted that these items are intended to be worn decoratively. Belts specifically, should not be worn for utilitarian purposes (i.e. used to hold up one's pants or hang a tankard from) unless described for such purposes. Doing so may result in damage to the belt. Further, accessories should be worn as recommended. When wearing items such as belts, necklaces, bracelets, etc., the fit should be loose and comfortable in order to prevent damage while crouching, bending, twisting, etc. These items are adjustable to ensure a proper fit for bodies of all shapes and sizes.

Make sure you’ve applied your makeup, perfume, lotions, oils, hairspray, etc. and have given it time to dry before putting on your jewelry. Avoid wet, damp and humid conditions if possible, removing your jewelry before bathing, swimming, washing dishes, etc. Commercial jewelry cleaners, chemicals, and even the pH of your skin can change induce a chemical reaction causing color changes. Clean, dry thoroughly, and store your costume jewelry in an air tight container.
