Bighorn Sheep Heritage Bolo | Vintage Medallion Series

A piece of American natural history, carried forward in silver and stone.

This Heritage Series bolo is built around an individually sourced vintage bighorn sheep medallion, paired with hand-selected high-grade turquoise and substantial hand-forged sterling silver.

Made to Order | Minimum 4-Week Lead Time

The established Bootleg Silver Co. composition places the medallion above the turquoise so the stone becomes an extension of the landscape within the coin. Greens, earth tones, matrix, and natural patterning are selected to echo the rugged mountain terrain associated with the bighorn.

The medallion and turquoise are set into a dimensional sterling silver composition with hand-fabricated accents and an oxidized finish that emphasizes the relief and character of the vintage piece.

Each bolo is finished with a brown braided leather cord and sterling silver tips.

The original Bighorn Sheep Bolo sold, and this proven Heritage Series design is now available again as a made-to-order piece.

Vintage bighorn medallions are sourced individually for each build. The specific medallion may vary depending on availability, age, mint, and design, but the established Bootleg Silver Co. composition and Bighorn Sheep Heritage design language will remain consistent.

Natural turquoise will also vary from piece to piece. Each stone is selected specifically for the individual medallion, ensuring that every finished bolo carries the spirit of the original design while remaining distinct in its own materials and character.

This piece requires the sourcing of an appropriate vintage bighorn sheep medallion before fabrication begins.

Please allow a minimum of 4 weeks for vintage component sourcing, incoming shipping, turquoise selection, and hand fabrication at the Bootleg Silver Co. studio. Lead times may vary depending on the availability of suitable vintage medallions and natural stone.

The bighorn carries a deeply personal connection to the roots of Bootleg Silver Co.

Growing up in the mountains of rural Idaho, bighorn sheep were part of the landscape and part of the family story. Suzette’s father was a professional hunting guide and has kept his own trophy bighorn for more than 45 years. He also helped his father, Merle, with his bighorn hunt — connecting this design across generations of family, hunters, ranchers, and the mountain country they called home.

That history is exactly why this design belongs in the Heritage Series: it brings together vintage material, natural stone, Western landscape, and family legacy in a piece meant to carry the story forward.
