Heritage Series | Bison Bolo | 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 bison medallion, paired with hand-selected high-grade turquoise and substantial hand-forged sterling silver.

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 open Western terrain associated with the American bison.

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

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

The original Bison Heritage Bolo was created for and presented at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West Patrons Ball. That original piece sold, and the established design is now available again as a made-to-order Heritage Series piece.

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

Natural turquoise will also vary from piece to piece. Each stone is selected specifically for the individual medallion so the color, matrix, and form work as part of the larger composition.

Every finished bolo carries the spirit of the original while remaining distinct in its own materials and character.
