  • Fine Western Jewelry Since 1936 the Holland Belt Buckles and Western Jewelry Have Been a Part of the Heritage of the West Since 1936
    Holland’s FINE WESTERN JEWELRY SINCE 1936 THE HOLLAND BELT BUCKLES AND WESTERN JEWELRY HAVE BEEN A PART OF THE HERITAGE OF THE WEST SINCE 1936. The late Chase Holland. Sr. was scouting West Texas in 1918 to purchase a retail store. The train stopped in San Angelo, a dusty, rowdy settlement on the banks of the Concho River. Chase Holland, being young and optimistic, decided San Angelo would be his new home. As luck would have it, there was a jewelry shop for sale. Through diligence and hard work, Mr. Holland was successful with his shop. After struggling through the depression, Chase wanted to give a gift of appreciation to friends and associates who had helped him through those difficult years. He fashioned a small sterling silver western spur into a tie clip. The first evening Mr. Holland wore this new “spur clip,” he took an order from Mr. Houston Harte, the newspaper publisher, for three spurs. They were given to Franklin D. Roosevelt, 32nd President of the United States, and two native Texans on Capitol Hill–Vice President John Nance Garner and Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn. This gift of appreciation to friends who had “won their spurs” was the beginning of Holland Jewelry’s Western Jewelry Manufacturing Division. Holland employed tool and die makers as well as artisans to create the legendary “die struck” buckles and jewelry. All of Holland’s products are still created in precious metals–sterling silver, 14 or 18 karat gold, and platinum. Each piece is handmade and hand-engraved, one of the hallmarks of Holland’s products.
