Clint Orms: A Statement Piece for Life

A belt buckle is much more than just an accessory to update one’s wardrobe—it’s a statement piece. It’s a piece that is designed to tell one’s life story through the arts of silversmithing and engraving. A belt buckle is kind of like a cowboy’s resume, name tag, and family history all on a piece of sterling silver. For a cowboy, a belt buckle is worn with pride and is a showing of their accomplishments. A belt buckle is a statement of who someone is and represents who they want to be.

“Growing up in Texas, I saw a lot of old classic buckles that grandparents were wearing and that inspired me,” Clint Orms says. “It was fun to see their grandchildren treat buckles with respect. I’d see grandparents giving their grandchildren cars and buckles, but they treated the buckles with more respect than the car. They never planned on keeping the car, but they weren’t about to let go of their grandfather’s belt buckle.”

The history of the Western belt buckle dates to the early 1900s. However, with a larger variety of tools and a wealth of talent, Clint Orms can create buckles that surpass his predecessors in quality. His success seems to stem from his pride.

“I want people to know that they are getting a part of Texas, a part of a good, hard day’s work,” he says. “If you put your best work into a piece, people are going to feel it forever. They may never own a cow or ranch land, but they will feel the values of the West, an image and heritage that is needed today.”

“Our main objective is to keep our Western heritage alive,” he adds. “We’re not about to turn a fast dollar. We are trying to create a buckle you can carry for the rest of your life.”
