Bluegrass Engraving is dedicated to the artistry of handcrafting and hand-engraving timeless belt buckles, jewelry, and accessories that seamlessly intertwine the spirit of the American West with the  rich tapestry of the Bluegrass.  

With a nod to  Kentucky's own trailblazing history and rich legacy in westward expansion, we  aim to create items that resonate with the traditions of heritage and honor, pride, passion, and independence  embodied in the spirit and values shared with the Western lifestyle.

 Through the meticulous dance of metal fabrication and the elegance of hand-engraved scrollwork, our mission unfolds: to intricately capture the fusion of  both of these influences, in order to create meaningful pieces that resonate with those who embrace this way of life. 

Welcome to our story, a venture sparked in 2015 by Brian Ferrand's decades-long passion for the art of hand-engraving. 

Introduced to engraving and metal fabrication in Texas, Brian's love of western arts runs deep, shaped by his days growing up and working on cattle ranches as the son of a ranch manager. After a dynamic military career as a paratrooper, flight medic, and nurse,  Brian came back to his creative calling.  Partnered with his wife, Sonja, a Kentucky native and former speech language pathologist, they blend their diverse backgrounds into dynamic pieces that both resonate with the allure of the American West, while also embracing the distinctive influences of their Kentucky location to create pieces that are uniquely Bluegrass Engraving. 

 From finely detailed belt buckles, firearms, personalized jewelry and accessories, each piece narrates a story of craftsmanship, resilience, and a deep love for the melding of shared traditions and values. 

Our varied interests are our forte'. They find expression in the eclectic range of items we offer.  Quality is paramount, and we strive to deliver excellence for your purchase. It's a story, a statement, crafted just for you. 

 Our commitment to craftsmanship runs deep. Each product is meticulously fashioned from raw metals, one at a time, using the tried-and-true tools of the trade. We don't take shortcuts either - we steer clear of assembling pre-purchased parts, ensuring an authentic touch to every piece.

Our steel buckles aren't your run-of-the-mill buckles. They undergo a meticulous finishing process, receiving a protective blued coating the same as firearms. This isn't just for looks; it's a shield against rust, helping to maintain the integrity of your piece.  

When it comes to skills, we've got an arsenal. From fabrication to hand-engraving and stone-setting, we bring a versatile skill set to the table. It's a cohesive blend of expertise that defines the quality of our work.
