Artist Bio - Vogt Silversmiths

The Vogt silver shop has been building beautiful, hand-crafted western sterling accessories for over 40 years. Located in Old Mexico, it draws upon the region's 400 years of silversmithing tradition which began with the arrival of Spanish conquistadores and the development of the Mexican vaquero.

Their original methods and knowledge were passed on to early Spanish Californians, the Native Americans of the southwest, and the western silversmiths of the 20th century. From these great teachers many North American artisans learned techniques still practiced today, so they like to say that "four centuries of tradition go into every piece they build. Vogt offers a Lifetime Guarantee with all their products, Should your genuine Vogt product for any reason be broken, bent, twisted, or otherwise damaged, they will fix or replace the piece free of charge (original owners only).
