M. Kelty | Custom Solid Gold Buckles & Heirloom Jewelry

Master Artistry Since 1975

For over five decades, master artisan Mark Kielty has bench-crafted the finest solid gold buckles, multi-piece buckle sets, and precious metal accoutrements for discerning collectors worldwide. Individually hand sculpted in the United States, each piece is a unique work of wearable art.

The Standard of Luxury

Recognized by the Robb Report "Best of the Best" honors for elite craftsmanship, M. Kelty pieces are defined by their impressive weight, clean lines, and flawless mechanical fit. We work strictly with premium, heavy-weight 14k and 18k solid gold alloys, alongside fine sterling silver, to execute commissions that endure for generations.

Bespoke Commissions by Inquiry

Every foundational design—including the Amalfi, Sonoma, and Stirrup—is available to be individually cast as a solid gold buckle set, customized with hand-selected stone mountings, or tailored to your specific belt strap width. Because our work is tailored to your exact specifications and current precious metal market values, all commissions are coordinated directly through our private studio.
