Pat Areias Sterling began in 1987 in Cuernavaca, Mexico, with the introduction of a three-piece buckle set which became the foundation of the designer's business. Two years later, she added silver jewelry to her collection. Reminiscent of the Art Deco era, her designs are marked by a contemporary style.Though she was born and raised in the San Joaquin Valley to third generation Portuguese dairy farmers, she pursued her interest in the traditions of her Latin descent by studying the Portuguese and Spanish cultures, arts and languages at the University of California at Santa Barbara.

Q: How do I measure my strap size? What size belt strap do I need? A: Our Pat Areias belt straps are sized in even numbers and have 5 holes punched at one-inch intervals to accommodate slight variations. Ideally, your buckle should fit in one of the center three holes of your strap. To find your strap size, measure around your hips or waist.
