Shannon Koszyk Bronze “Audaces Fortuna Invat” Belt Buckle Never Worn

A rare and authentic Shannon Koszyk designer belt buckle featuring the iconic “Audaces Fortuna Invat” (“Fortune Favors the Bold”) design. Purchased directly from Shannon Koszyk in late 2017/early 2018, this buckle has never been worn and includes the original branded drawstring dust bag.

Expertly crafted with Shannon Koszyk’s signature antiqued bronze finish, the bronze buckle features a raised cross encircled by a rosary-inspired wreath beneath a crown, framed by the Latin inscription “Audaces Fortuna Invat – Fortune Favors the Bold.” The reverse is signed with the designer’s SK monogram and fitted with a belt bar, allowing it to be paired with the leather strap of your choice.

A distinctive collectible from one of America’s premier artisan jewelry designers, this piece embodies Shannon Koszyk’s bold, symbolic aesthetic and is becoming increasingly difficult to find.
