"Spurs with a Heart of Gold" by Wilson Capron

With these spurs, Capron chose to begin with a commonly seen style and then, utilizing high-relief engraving, elevate them to a place of their own. He then inlaid 24k gold in the background of the sculpted leaves, further setting them apart. “The West loves elegance, too, and I think it fits,” Capron said. “It doesn’t matter whether you drive a luxury car or ride a good-looking horse, most people enjoy and appreciate quality. My goal is to bring that to our Western culture.”
