Montana Silversmiths Vintage Western Jewelry
The history of Montana Silversmiths Inc began in Columbus in 1973 founded by Kent B. Williams, who was its president, director, treasurer and secretary. The company’s jewelers made Western and classic design belt buckles, bolo ties, money clips, watches and jewelry of precious metals and their alloys. After twenty years of successful operation, Williams sold his company to the Delaware Corporation.
Known for their quality and unique designs with fantastic engraved patterns, Montana Silversmiths have become a trendsetter in Wild West jewelry fashion. Traditionally made from two-tone metal, gold and silver plated, MS pieces were produced under two brand names – ADM and Montana Silversmiths.
Since 1994 the new owners of the company have significantly expanded the business, opening branches in other states. In addition, the corporation founded dozens of brands on the manufacture of various products. Trademarks owned by Montana Silversmiths, Inc.:
