Genuine White Buffalo Hat Pin | Sterling Silver with Turquoise & Spiny Oyster | Regul Silver

Three stones the West loves, riding in one pin: white buffalo — white as fresh snow, flecked with black — beside blue-green turquoise and ember-orange spiny oyster. These are the hat pins a whole shelf of Western hats gets finished with, hand-worked in sterling silver.

This white buffalo hat pin is handcrafted in Mexico in sterling silver. The pins come in two settings — one stone, or three stones together — and three lengths, 3, 6, and 7 inches, down a twisted shaft. The three-stone pin in the photograph carries the family whole: one oval of white buffalo, one round of genuine turquoise, and one oval of spiny oyster shell, in smooth bezels with silver bead accents.

Stamped-out hat pins carry one glass-bright stone and bend if you look at them hard. These are bench-made: stones with real matrix and real flecking, bezels worked smooth by hand, shafts twisted the length of the pin. The white buffalo alone stops people — it reads like marble and wears like a story.

White buffalo is the stone people ask about. It is not turquoise and does not pretend to be — it is its own white stone, mined in the same Nevada country, and beside turquoise and spiny oyster it completes the trio the West has always worn together: sky, ember, and snow.

Here are its facts, exactly as its record carries them: one pin in the length and stone count chosen, at $144.00. Six combinations stand on the record — lengths 3, 6, and 7 inches, in one-stone and three-stone settings — the stock number standing as TFR62026. Its stones are the three its record names: white buffalo, genuine turquoise, and spiny oyster shell, set in sterling silver, handcrafted in Mexico, as its record states. Stated exactly, what its record does not carry: the record names the three stones for the family but does not separate them by variant — a one-stone pin’s stone is the studio’s to confirm, and no mine is named for its turquoise in any field the owner has settled, no individual maker’s name stands, and no measured weight stands.

Care for all three stones the gentle way: wipe them with a soft dry cloth, keep acetone and baking soda away from them entirely, and polish the silver on its own. The honest part: every stone here runs its own range — white buffalo flecked light or heavy, turquoise blue-green to green, spiny oyster ember to deep red-orange — and the pin that arrives will be its own, not a copy of the photograph.
