From old town Reno's dusty streets, steel railroad tracks and sparkling depths of mining territory, this year’s commemorative buckle holds the allure of bringing a distant memory to life.
A hand-painted midnight black ribbon runs triumphantly through the middle of the buckle just as the first established railroad station did in Reno. The track features blazing 24K minted gold letters to bracket the name “RENO RODEO 2025” a gateway to the American West. The picturesque landscape of Nevada captured on the sunlit surface of 18K electroplated rose gold engraving, represents rolling hills, and serene meadows. An icy blue stone is set in the location of Reno to represent azurite, a natural crystal discovered in Reno and known for its spiritual properties. This exclusive buckle is a treasure trove of natural wonders, all bound with a cowboy’s gold rope that frames the edge. Jim Neil’s vision bridges the past and present with this USA made, Montana Silversmiths collector’s buckle for 2025.
