I would really like to find a bridle like this one. The only ones I seem to find with that v-shaped browband have silver all the way across, and I don’t want a bunch of bling (especially since my saddle is bling-free).
Here’s a few more:

Has bling but pretty and different. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Showman-V-Style-Browband-Headstall-with-Copper-Celtic-Knot-Conchos-and-Buckles-/191066421587?hash=item2c7c723953
If your saddle has conchos, you can change them out to match

I like that!
How would I go about changing conchos? The conchos on my Circle Y are rusted, which shocked me as I thought they would have used better metal. I would like to change them out, but no idea how. They don’t appear to be a simple matter of screwing them out.

If they aren’t held on with strings, they’re literally screwed on with a wood screw soldered to the concho. There are dedicated concho turners, or if you don’t care about the concho a set of vice grips will do it too.

I recently changed all mine out, my old Circle Y were rusty too. Try unscrewing one and make sure you order the correct length of saddle concho, some have different type backs and some have longer screws then you will need. Conchos come in all price ranges so you don’t have to spend a fortune to update the look of your saddle.
Any suggestions on where to get conchos from? I don’t want to spend a ton of money, but wouldn’t mind making them look better.
I would contact these folks and send them a picture of what you want.
They build custom gear as well as stock items and their tack is really quality stuff.
