The wordĀ conchoĀ comes from the Spanish "concha" which actually means "conch" or "seashell" but has come to mean round or oval disks (occasionally rectangles) of silverĀ usedĀ to decorate saddles, bridles, clothing,Ā usedĀ as jewellery such as for pendants and bolo ties and for adding to belts.
The Navajo learned the art of metal working from the Mexicans, and it is believed that the first conchoĀ belt was an adaptation of horse bridle buckles found there. As trade increased with Europeans in the Plains Territory, the Navajo began to make conchosĀ out of silver coins they had with them.
