Swagger | Holland Sterling Silver Spur Chain Brooch

$125.00

Confidence has its own gait.

Swagger is what happens when Western attitude cleans up for the evening. A little bravado, a little polish, and absolutely no need to prove the point. Some things simply know how to walk into a room.

Holland’s miniature sterling spurs began in 1936 as recognition pieces for people considered to have “won their spurs.” The idea was taken surprisingly literally, with fully dimensional spurs, hand engraving, and articulated rowels that actually turn. This chained example carries that bit of Texas bravado into jewelry form, right down to the working hardware.
