Plate material: Zinc alloy (cast)
What’s the difference?

Brass plates are the standard: cut and engraved to the design, then finished by hand. Brass is dense and hard, so the belt feels solid in the hand. Cast zinc alloy plates are made in a mould cut for your design, then finished by hand. Casting allows deeper 3D relief than engraving, and zinc alloy takes plating well. The extra cost covers the mould and the hand-finishing. Brass or cast zinc alloy plates

Finish: Standard
What’s the difference?

24K gold electroplating puts a thin layer of real gold on the surface of the plates. The belt is not solid gold. Like any plating, the gold layer can wear if it is rubbed against something abrasive. The standard finish has no gold layer. Gold electroplating explained

Plate thickness: 4 mm
What’s the difference?

This is how thick the metal plates are. 2 mm is included. Each extra millimetre, up to 5 mm, adds the same amount, shown on each choice. Thicker plates allow deeper relief in the design, so details stand out more, and they weigh more. Plate thickness explained

About this design

The NWA World Women's Championship has been the NWA's women's world title since 1950. This listing is MS Belts' made-to-order replica of the current silver design on a white strap, with its centre photo and red stones. The page opens on the build closest to the real belt, and every choice shows its price.

About the NWA World Women's Championship

Wikipedia says the NWA established the title in 1950, with Mildred Burke as first champion because her 1937 win over Clara Mortensen was recognised as the NWA title. It was the NWA Women's Championship until 2016 and has carried its current name since.

The Fabulous Moolah has the most reigns with four. In 1983 she sold the physical belt to the WWF, where it became the WWF Women's Championship, and the NWA title's lineage continued separately. NWA President Billy Corgan presented the current belt on 30 September 2019.

Design details

  • Main plate: silver, with "National Wrestling Alliance" arched across the top, "1948" above a round portrait photo in the centre, laurel branches either side and "Women's World Championship" on banners along the bottom.
  • Stones: red gems set around the main plate.
  • Shield: an engraved shield with wrestlers sits beside the portrait.
  • Side plates: two oval silver plates carrying the NWA globe logo, one on each side of the main plate.
  • Strap: white leather with a scalloped embossed border and an embossed end panel with two rows of five snaps.

The real belt and commercial replicas

Wikipedia says the current belt was made by Belts By Dan and has three silver plates on a white strap with 12 red gems. The photo in the centre is updated with every champion. We found no commercial replica with published specifications. Our closest build is zinc alloy (cast), standard, 4 mm, which is what this page shows first.

How we make it

  • Plates: standard brass plates are cut and engraved to the design and finished by hand. Cast zinc alloy (+$100) comes from a mould made for the design, takes plating well and shows deeper relief.
  • Finish: standard or 24K gold plated (+$20). The gold is an electroplated surface layer, so the belt is not solid gold.
  • Thickness: 2 mm included, then +$50 for each extra millimetre up to 5 mm.
  • Strap: cowhide leather, about 50–51 in (127–130 cm), snap closure with several positions. Kids to jumbo sizes and other strap colours are quoted by email.
  • Made to order: see the delivery estimate on this page.
  • Shipping: free worldwide courier (UPS, FedEx or DHL) with tracking. We prepay import duties (DDP).
  • Warranty: lifetime on plating, hardware and stitching.

The three choices, in short

Three choices about the plates decide how the belt looks, how it feels in the hand and what it costs.

  • Plate material

    The plates are the metal parts on the front of the belt. Brass plates are the standard: cut and engraved to the design, then finished by hand. Brass is dense and hard, so the belt feels solid. Cast zinc alloy plates are made in a mould and finished by hand, for deeper 3D relief.

    Brass plates are included. Cast zinc alloy plates add $100.

  • Finish

    24K real-gold electroplating is a thin layer of real gold on the surface of the plates. The belt is not solid gold, and the standard finish has no gold layer.

    24K real-gold electroplating adds $20.

    Gold electroplating explained
  • Plate thickness

    Thickness is how thick the metal plates are, in millimetres. 2 mm is included, and you can go up to 5 mm. Thicker plates allow deeper relief in the design and weigh more.

    2 mm is included. Each extra millimetre adds $50, up to 5 mm.

Made to order

How this belt is made

Every belt goes through 7 or 8 phases in our workshop, depending on the build. For a cast belt, casting in a mould takes the place of cutting. Gold electroplating happens only when you choose it or when it is included.

Under normal conditions, most belts are finished in 5–6 working days. For a custom design, the clock starts when you approve the design.

Questions

Questions before you order

Short answers about this belt, delivery and returns.

All questions and answers

How long does a belt take?

Under normal conditions most belts are made in 5–6 working days, then delivered by courier in up to 5 working days, anywhere in the world. For a custom design, the clock starts when you approve the design. These are estimates, not guarantees.

Is shipping free?

Yes. Every order ships free worldwide by courier (UPS, FedEx or DHL) with tracking.

We prepay import duties (DDP), so there are no customs charges to pay on delivery.

What are the plates made of?

Brass is the standard plate metal. On custom belts the SD build has brass plates cut and engraved to the design, the CNC build has brass plates CNC-machined for finer detail, and the HD build has zinc alloy plates cast in a mould made for the design and finished by hand, for the deepest 3D relief. On catalogue belts, cast zinc alloy is +$100. Plates are 2 mm thick as standard, and 3, 4 or 5 mm add $50 for each extra millimetre. The strap is cowhide leather.

Is 24K gold electroplating real gold?

Yes, it is a thin layer of real 24K gold on the surface of the plates. The belt is not solid gold, and like any plating it can wear if it is rubbed against something abrasive.

Will the belt fit?

The strap is about 50 to 51 inches (127 to 130 cm) long with a snap closure and several snap positions. That is the length of the whole strap, not a waist size. Email us the wearer's measurement and we will confirm the fit before you order.

Can I put my own names or logo on a belt?

Yes. Name plate engraving can be added on belt pages that offer it. For a logo or a fully custom design, use the belt builder or email support@msbelts.com for a quote. Nothing is made until you approve the design.
