Pearl of the Faith

Artwork No. 11

$19,500

Compton’s inspiration for this one-of-a-kind cross comes from his faith. Faith has always played a major role in the West, so Compton created this fully filigreed and sculpted 9-inch solid sterling silver cross with yellow and rose gold flowers, featuring a pearl set within the flower. Both sides are fully finished to be an eye-catching centerpiece.

The Stockyards Buckle

Artwork No. 12

$9,500

It’s true Compton uses longhorns often in his work. After taking his daughter to compete in a women’s finals rodeo at the Fort Worth Stockyards earlier this year, however, he couldn’t get the idea of creating this unique longhorn buckle out of his head. The Stockyards is a three-piece buckle with a unique orientation that features high horns up the sides of the buckle. Bearing a rope-style border with yellow gold leaves and horns flowing throughout and finished with detailed overlay and sculpted scrollwork, this buckle fits a 1-inch belt.

Toro Viejo

Artwork No. 13

$7,500

Compton designed this unique 2-inch by 3 1/2-inch oval buckle with a border comprised of fully filigreed scrolls and leaves creating various dimensions. The rose gold flowers, yellow gold centers and yellow gold horns complement the heavy gauge sterling silver base with an eye-pleasing mix of metals.

Silver and Pearl Necklace and Earring Set

Artwork No. 14

$6,500

As Compton notes, silver and pearls never go out of style, so he created this necklace and earring set not only to ensure the wearer stands out in a crowd, but also to become a family heirloom enjoyed for generations. The fully filigreed, sterling silver necklace is accentuated by Western scrollwork, from which is suspended a 1 1/2-inch pendant set with a 10 mm cultured pearl in the center. Matching earrings — both featuring 5 mm pearls — complete this stunning set.

Bronc Bolo

Artwork No. 15

$5,500

The bronc is a classic symbol of the West, so Compton crafted this oval, 2 1/2-inch bolo with a hand-sculpted bronc figure over a heavy sterling silver base. Accented with yellow and rose gold flowers and filigreed leaves flowing up the sides, this bolo features an elegant, hand-crafted bolo cord courtesy Pablo Lozano, crafted with natural-colored rawhide in a 16-plait round braid plus gaucho buttons with brown-dyed interweaves for contrast. Compton finished the bronc bolo with sterling silver tips.

Clutched

$18,500

This unique clutch purse — titled Clutched — is certain to turn heads when carried for special occasions. Formed from heavy gauge silver and showcasing interwoven, scrolling leaves with gold dots that hug the purse’s borders, it features a rose and green gold flower with a beautiful, 1/4 carat natural diamond set in the center and full bright-cut engraving. Just the right size for carrying the essentials (like a phone, credit card and lipstick), this clutch will allow any woman to accessorize in style.

Beau Compton was born and reared in a rodeo and ranching family. Though he was initially interested in bit and spur making, he started silverwork in 1997 after his father-in-law introduced him to Vic Vasquez, a saddlemaker, silversmith and bit and spur maker. In 2006, Compton started to pursue silverwork as a full-time business, and in 2015, he was awarded a TCAA fellowship, which — along with the TCAA Emerging Artists Competition — he credits for propelling his work to the level of TCAA membership. Compton currently resides with his wife and two children on his in-laws’ family-owned cow-calf operation. “It is a blessing to raise my children, who are the sixth generation on the ranch, in this environment,” Compton said, “and to perpetuate Western lifestyle and values.”
