A TERRIFIC TURQUOISE STATEMENT 
We love pieces that can stand out with the most subtle details. This round sterling silver buckle features a stamped floral pattern throughout and a centered trio of round turquoise stones set in simple bezels. The buckle, crafted by Silver State Sterling, is finished with a vintage leather strap for a piece that makes a terrific turquoise statement.
Company Bio & History

The company operated from approximately 1967 to 2006. 

Location: It was based out of Sparks, Nevada 

Artistry & Style: The workshop specialized in highly detailed, hand-engraved western silversmithing. Instead of producing mass-market flatware or holloware, Nielsen focused heavily on custom cowboy accouterments, rodeo rewards, and personalized hardware.

While the company closed its doors in 2006, its pieces remain highly collectible among vintage Western Americana enthusiasts. Because each buckle or accessory was individually worked and engraved, items bearing the "SSS ribbon" hallmark are sought after for their heavy gauge, brilliant bright-cut engraving, and authentic Great Basin Western heritage.
