FROM THE VAULT
Every piece tells a story.
Our vault holds decades of designs that shaped our story, now ready to become a part of yours.
Each piece carries a chapter of Texas history and the spirit of the land behind it. The Loving, named for the legendary trail driver who helped define the American West. The Webb, rooted in the borderland ranching culture of South Texas. The Hidalgo, reaching back to the first rancheros along the Rio Grande. The Garrison, born from the grit of the East Texas frontier.
As we bring each piece to light, we'll share the story behind it and why these handcrafted sterling silver & gold buckles endure. Designed and made by hand in Kerrville, Texas. Built to last a lifetime.
Featured: The Hidalgo 1800 Buckle
The Hidalgo 1800 Bronc Rider Trophy Buckle is meticulously crafted for those who appreciate the finest in artisanal craftsmanship.
This stunning piece is one of only 50 in existence, measuring a perfect 3.64" x 3.72". Made from sterling silver, it boasts a distinctive scalloped design adorned with luxurious 14 karat yellow and 10 karat green gold overlays. The elegance is further enhanced by a 14 karat yellow, 16-gauge rope edge that gracefully frames the buckle.
The Hidalgo 1800 Bronc Rider is more than a trophy buckle - it's a piece of the Orms family story. First sold when Clayton Orms, son of founder Clint Orms, was just 10 years old, the Hidalgo has remained his personal favorite ever since. Recently restored to its current look, it stands today as a showcase of everything Clint Orms craftsmanship represents.
Beyond any other trophy buckle in our collection, the Hidalgo is built from 38 individual pieces, hand-fitted and finished by a true silversmith. Sterling silver and gold are combined in careful balance; heated, poured, hammered, and engraved by hand — resulting in a design of uncommon depth and detail. It's a piece that rewards a closer look, revealing new craftsmanship with every angle.
CRAFTED WITH LOVE
The Loving 1810 Buckle
The design takes its name from Loving County: the most sparsely populated county in Texas, a stretch of unbroken sky and desert bloom with a spirit far bigger than its numbers. That landscape shaped the buckle's silhouette: a sterling silver heart, engraved entirely by hand, with floral overlays tracing across its base that echo the wildflowers found across the county itself.
The name also nods to Charlie Robison's song "Loving County," which captures the same mystique of the place — remote, magnetic, and a little lonesome. To wear the buckle is to carry that same feeling: a bit of a song, a bit of a county, and a bit of Texas heartland.

Tried & True: The Webb 1821 Buckle
The Webb shape traces back more than 70 years, worn first by a close friend of Clint Orms' father — and passed down through that friend's three sons, one of whom still wears it to this day.
It's a design that has quietly lived on belts across generations, long before it ever reached the Orms shop. In 1977, the Webb became the very first buckle shape Clint Orms made in his own shop — filled with hand-set turquoise stones and carrying the same lines that had marked the shape for decades. Orms wore that original turquoise Webb buckle to the Cow Palace in Long Beach, where a turquoise vendor took notice and offered him $350 for it on the spot. At the time, that was rent money; so, regrettably, Orms sold the very buckle that started it all.
Today, the Webb shape remains a foundational design in the Clint Orms collection — a quiet piece of Western history, and the shape that started everything.
