Ralph Maynard, the Hallmark of Maynard Buckles, started the company in a small Southwestern town in New Mexico in 1981. A former world-class Saddle Bronc rider, Ralph entered a highly competitive market where he created a renowned reputation for his line of trophy buckles. Now walking closely in her father’s footsteps is Kelsi Maynard.

Kelsi was actively involved in rodeo activities and desired a business venture of her own. Growing up in her father’s business, she was the most likely to take over the reins so her father could pursue other things.

Ralph Maynard who rode professionally for ten years relied on the strength of his good name and his knowledge of rodeo to build a business recognized throughout the United States.

The business expanded to include handmade trophy saddles, spurs, trophy watches with hand tooled bands and custom designed faces, and other jewelry, gifts and accessories. If a design can be imagined, it can be brought to life by Maynard Buckles artistic staff.

As popularity and mystique of the rodeo design buckles increased, specialty design buckles and items came into vogue for country western singers, football players, car racing fans, tennis and golf tournament promoters, dignitaries and the like, allowing Maynard Buckles to expand their creative energy, widening the field for new ideas.

Most of the creations consist of 16 gauge Sterling Silver or Sterling filled material. The designs, events and lettering are generally crafted from 22 gauge Jewelers Gold filled, Jewelers Gold, Copper, Sterling Overlay, Sterling Silver or 10 Karat Gold filled material.
