Ranger belts are wider and taper down at the buckle/keepers/tip. Selling the buckle set shown, giving the belt for free. Allison "Snowhawk" Lee (1958 - 2022) was an award-winning Navajo artist from Mexican Springs, New Mexico. He was the third oldest of eight (four brothers and three sisters). Allison lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico with his three sons, Wyatt, Kyle and Trent. He enjoyed spending time outdoors hunting, fishing, hiking, and camping with his family. When there was a boom in Native American jewelry in the early seventies, Allison’s mother and uncle started making Squash Blossoms. At the young age of 14, Allison was asked by his mother to make a silver ring with a turquoise stone. He made the ring well and so began his interest in jewelry making. Allison graduated from Tohatchi High School, during the summers he worked at various silver shops in the Gallup area, where he perfected the methods of silversmithing from the top silversmiths in the shops. Allison began competing in juried art shows back in 1988 and continued this tradition of competition throughout his life. He received many top awards, such as: Best of Division at the Santa Fe Indian Market, the George C. West Memorial Award for Excellence in Silver Jewelry which he won three years in a row. Allison was asked to join in on making a piece for the millennium sampler concha belt along with twelve renowned Indian Market jewelers. He was very honored to be chosen to participate in this collaboration. The proceeds of this auction benefited the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts (SWAIA). Allison was a highly skilled and respected silversmith, loved throughout the field of Native American jewelry. Sadly, Allison passed away in June of 2022. He will be greatly missed, but his legacy lives on in his sons‘ beautiful jewelry.

Hollands Fine Jewelry has been a prominent contributor in the West Texas community for over 100 years. The family owned business began its story in 1918 when Chase Holland, Sr. purchased a jewelry store from Mr. C. C. McBurnett and renamed the business “Hollands Jewelry. Prior owners can, however, be traced to 1891. In addition to traditional jewelry and watches of the period, Hollands Jewelry was widely recognized for its extensive inventory of fine silver, china, and crystal. The Hollands Spur Clip was created and patented in 1936. With the country emerging from the difficult years of the Depression, Mr. Holland designed a miniature sterling silver spur tie clasp as a symbol of recognition, given to someone who had “earned their spurs. Two of these first “Spurs Clips were presented to President Franklin Roosevelt and Vice-President John Nance Garner. Over the years, many other celebrities, politicians, and dignitaries have been presented spur jewelry as gifts of both accomplishment and gratitude. The spur clip marked the genesis of Hollands Jewelrys debut into the world of jewelry manufacturing, specializing in hand-crafted buckles, spur jewelry items, and a variety of other hand-made, hand-engraved specialty pieces, many of which are still in production. The family owned business grew quickly. Chase Hollands son, Chase, Jr. began his work in the business after completing his service in the Army Air Corps during WWII. Chase Jr., with his wife Virginia, began management of the company in 1960. Many of our clients still remember working with Mrs. Virginia, who was a major staple in the community. With the help of the store manager Mr. George McCormack, and her two sons Chase III and Bill, the company grew into the successful establishment that it is today. Brant Horner of Brownwood, TX joined the company in 1985. After graduating with an accounting degree from Angelo State University, he continued to progress at Hollands Jewelry and quickly worked his way to Master Jeweler. Aside from his fine craftsmanship as a jeweler, Brant brought a new age of tailored jewelry making to Hollands. He specializes in die making, hand carving and modern rapid prototyping for custom jewelry, stone setting, and hand engraving. In 2012, Brant became business partners with the Holland brothers. After celebrating the 100th year for the company, Bill Holland joined Chase Holland III in retirement and Brant Horner took over ownership and management of the company. The family operated tradition continues with Brant Horner and his daughter, Evyn Horner Higgins, who began working at Hollands in 2011. Hollands Jewelry is a member of The American Gem Society, Jewelers of America, Jewelers Vigilance Committee, Better Business Bureau, and many other trade organizations. For over 100 years, Hollands has been committed to providing professional, knowledgeable service while offering quality diamonds, jewelry, gemstones, watches, and exclusive gift items. anderas

Fits a 1.5" belt. No apparent damage, some expected wear. Much better in person, we have a hard time photographing these types of items properly. Watson Honanie created jewelry of gold and silver overlay portraying Hopi culture and ceremonial life. Encouraged by two uncles, Porter Timecheand and the late Fred Kabotie, both of whom were associated with the Hopi Silvercraft Guild, he began making jewelry at an early age. "They gave me scraps of silver so I could make small pieces, mostly earrings," Honanie said. He learned the overlay technique from his brother Phillip, and worked at the Silvercraft Guild for about two years before venturing out on his own. "In 1979, when the cost of silver got so high - $48 to $50 an ounce, I went back to using scraps, but not for making jewelry. I made small Kachinas, about four inches tall, using the lost wax process and the melted silver scraps. I made these miniature Kachinas for about a year, then returned to jewelry." Although he made jewelry since 1972, it was not until 1985 that he started to work with gold. But today, he is noted for his gold work.

Ahmad Khan 1" Hand Engraved sterling silver ranger belt buckle set. Solid sterling silver (tested) with weight and measurements in pictures.. Fits a 1" belt. No issues, some expected wear. Ranger belts are typically wider and taper down to 3/4" where the buckle and tip go on. For young Ahmad, the sight of cowboys and outlaws in Western movies, mounted on horses with holsters, guns, and spurs, seemed like a dream world. It seemed like a faraway, unreachable world, but he hoped one day to go to America, the land of the cowboys in the north. At age 16, he was finally old enough to be apprenticed to a master silversmith. He sought to prove his worth by demonstrating his artistic talent through the wood and ivory pieces he carved during breaks from his errand job. At first, he was a little nervous about showing his talent, as he only carved wood and ivory pieces, but he apologized and explained to his masters that his income did not allow him to purchase the expensive gold and silver needed to carve his pieces. His masters were impressed by his natural talent and fortitude, as he saved all of his paychecks and used them to purchase his own carving tools. After four years of hard work and study under the master craftsmen, Ahmad earned himself a master‘s degree. Under their tutelage, he learned the secrets and techniques of centuries-old silversmithing. He mastered how to design, shape, and replicate gold and silver into artistic shapes with the same perfection as his masters. His knowledge and gifted talent led him to pursue his dream of becoming a silversmith. Eventually, he left his home country and journeyed to cowboy country. He left his family and traveled to the United States to become a silversmith for cowboys. Upon arriving in America, he researched the great tradition and craftsmanship of the Bolin Shop in Hollywood, California. He knew the shop was one of the finest and largest silversmith shops in the country, with a long list of famous people as clients. Mr. Bolin was a Hollywood legend who literally blazed a trail for the artisan tradition. He rode the country‘s last stagecoach with Buffalo Bill Cody. Tom Mix, Gary Cooper, Clark Gable and Buck Jones were just a few of his Hollywood clients, not to mention the voluptuous actress Mae West, who had him create her own silver telephone. A former apprentice of renowned master silversmith Bud Phillips, Ahmad‘s work became popular among Hollywood celebrities between 1981 and 1987. He created wearable art masterpieces for such celebrities as Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, Gene Autry, Clayton "The Lone Ranger" Moore, Monty Montana, Burt Reynolds, Clint Eastwood, Larry Hagman, and President Reagan. His client list included other famous actors, politicians, musicians, and cowboys. Ahmad noted that President Reagan proudly wore his four-piece, three-tone, 5-A 18-karat gold and sterling silver buckle during his presidency. It was a gift from country singer Lee Greenwood. The president was so impressed with the buckle that he personally called to commend the designer and craftsman. Texas Congressman Frank Tyhida also personally called Ahmad to praise his work, saying he is always praised for the craftsmanship and beauty of his custom silver buckles. "It makes me proud to see celebrities wearing my creations," Ahmad jokes. "They have my initials on the back of the buckles, and they keep the pants of celebrities and powerful people in place." His work first gained a Hollywood break when he was hired by the renowned Bud Phillips of Bolin to create a replica of the famous Tom Mix spurs for actor and stuntman Dean Smith. The original spurs were handcrafted by Bolin himself, and upon his death in 1980, Bud Phillips sought out a talented silversmith to carry on the Bolin tradition. Bud Phillips brought Ahmad into his department and fully trained him to create Western-inspired wearable art. "I‘m always fascinated by watching the young masters at work," Bud Phillips declared, quietly watching Ahmad at his workbench. Bud Phillips himself worked for Hollywood legend Gene Autry in the early 1930s, before working for Bolin for over 44 years. He asserts that Ahmad is the only master silversmith capable of carrying on the Bolin tradition in the art of Western apparel. Charles Sample, a fourth-generation gold and silversmith who is considered one of the creators of the Bolin legend, also expresses his admiration and respect for Ahmad‘s craftsmanship from his home in Santa Barbara. Once, he asked Ahmad about the passion and sincerity he brings to his work, and his answer was simple: "Celebrating the American cowboy... is the American dream I‘ve ever dreamed of." Many of Ahmad‘s works are currently on display at the Gene Autry Museum, where Clayton Moore‘s spurs and holster buckles can also be seen. The Gene Autry saddle is one of the most popular exhibits, showcasing Ahmad‘s impressive restoration skills.
