Sterling Silver And Kingman Turquoise Rattlesnake Hat Band On Stamped Leather

Transform your favorite hat with this genuine turquoise and rich leather hat band. —Each one is handcrafted from start to finish, from the silver and turquoise to the hand stamped & lined leather band.  
This particular piece was made from an actual rattlesnake that was stomped by one of our cattle,  so I thought I would give it a second life by taking a mold of the rattle and cast it out of sterling silver.  Some pieces I leave plain silver, but this one I gave an extra pop of color - a Turquoise “head”. 
These hat bands bring that perfect blend of Western flare (although you don’t need to be western to wear them) and artisan craftsmanship that makes every outfit unforgettable. You have bling for the rest of you, why not your hat too 😉

All of my pieces are handmade, created one of a kind- one at a time by me in my Northern California studio. 

Your package will  arrive nicely wrapped, ready for gift giving. All orders ship within 48 hours (except weekends and holidays) with priority mail, which includes a tracking number.  It takes on average between 3-5 days in the states and 5-12 days to arrive to overseas locations.

I use many processes to create my pieces.  I usually start with sterling silver sheet and/or sterling silver wire (or Gold filled ) and forge it with hammers, saws, stamps, hydraulic press, etc.  and all most always, there is a silversmithing torch involved. I use genuine stones, unless noted and mainly sterling silver, but also love other metals like gold filled, gold bronze and I especially love pure gold when price isn't an issue for my customer.  Sometimes I even play with brass or german silver when requested.  I absolutely love making jewelry and am so happy I get to do this for a living. I hope you enjoy wearing it as much as I enjoyed making it. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to see additional photos. Thank you for looking.
