| There's a lot out there and I've had conchos in the past that break easily, so I'm curious where the best place to purchase replacement saddle conchos would be? |

I've purchased from them in the past and they were great, but I'm not a fan of bling and want something with a simple or antique finish... lol easier to clean. |

Location: In the Hills of Texas | Hansen silver has quality conchos. Most of the others are going to be he cheap made in China junk.
Here is a link to them and from there you can find a dealer. There is someone on Ebay that also sells nice conchos. I'll try to find them.

| It honestly depends on what quality you are looking for. If you want real silver, hand engraved conchos, you may want to look up a silver smith.
If you want decent looking production conchos I use conchos.com or tritexconchos.com |

I was going to suggest Hansen too. They usually set up at the Saddle Makers Reunion and John always picks up several sets of saddle silver from them. They have some in most price ranges. |

Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | Tandys leather has some really cool conchos too, bought some while I was in San Antonio one time put them on some used saddles that I bought and they turned out pretty neat looking. But I have also found some nice ones on Ebay too. |

Location: The Oklahoma plains. | If you want something not mass produced or cheap silver looking shiny stuff, I would look at a custom silversmith. Like Troy Flaharty or Nick Cunningham- those are the high end of the spectrum (like $500-$1000) or if you want something unique but cheaper, look up MAD COW Co- they have cool saddle hardware. |

Rodeo Drive started the crystal craze and is still up and running and doing very well.  |

| I like the Jeremiah Watt's conchos, you can buy them off eBay or from Weaver leather, or other places. A set of six will cost about $34 so not expensive but they are very heavy weight and look really pretty. |
