Michael Pardue, Silversmith, The art of the belt buckle
The world has progressed to far to understand a man retreating into the past.
Welcome to Pardue Silversmith, where old-school craftsmanship meets modern-day style. As an artist, I take great pride in creating high-quality, handmade belt buckles that embody the spirit of the old west and cowboy lifestyle. I am a family-oriented, retired firefighter and outdoorsman who is passionate about preserving the time-honored traditions of western silversmithing.
