Belt, A Vintage, Buckle, Western, Engraved, Silverplate, Hallmark, Vintage, 1111

SWIRLING SIMPLICITY

Simple details are always beautiful. This belt and buckle from Montana Silversmiths is the epitome of that. The sleek vintage leather strap is a great base for the sterling silver buckle's details. Swirling scroll details are etched around the round buckle with gorgeous flowers in opposing corners, and it is finished with a twisted rope border. It may be a simple belt, but it isn't lacking in beauty.

  Montana Silversmiths Bio:

  Founded in 1973 by Kent Williams in Columbus, Montana, Montana Silversmiths grew from a small operation producing custom rodeo buckles into a premier Western brand. Known for its silver and gold engraving, the company became the official silversmith for major rodeo associations like the PRCA and PBR. They remain based in Columbus, crafting jewelry and buckles that symbolize Western heritage.
