Depends on the type of pin you want.
Ulla Box Creations do some nice antler ones https://www.etsy.com/shop/UllapoolBo...on_id=20939076 as do J Boult www.jboultdesigns.com and Antler Sgian Dubhs https://www.antlersgiandubhs.co.uk/handmade-kilt-pins (who also have some ox horn pins, and I bought a rams horn pin from them last year) - although these are pretty easy to make yourself.
Ebay is sometimes worth a look for vintage/silver kilt pins.

Nagle Forge is a California company which has some unique kilt pins. Their web site shows only a small fraction of their merchandise. https://nagleforge.com

I've no idea what your budget is, but the Ministry of Tartan (ministryoftartan.com) has a couple of nice vintage silver regimental pins for sale:

Sorry I'm going to beat the drum a bit for vintage kilt pins, which I very much prefer over anything I've seen being currently made.
From the 1920s through the 1950s a number of Scottish firms made extremely elegant Sterling kilt pins which I think set the standard.
(Forsyth 1960 catalogue)

Here's my 1950s Henderson & Horner (Glasgow) kilt pin which I got on Ebay for around $20, with a 1950s catalogue offering that exact pin (Tartan Gift Shop, Edinburgh)

Here's a thread I started about classic Scottish kilt pins
http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...lt-pins-94957/
These are always available on Ebay, often for prices below ungainly modern ones; here's a vintage Robert Allison Sterling silver kilt pin for under $40 https://www.ebay.com/itm/19462504749...kAAOSwJzlhslrh
Makers include silversmiths
Robert Allison
Thomas Kerr Ebbutt
Henderson & Horner
Medlock & Craik
John Fraser
James Rettie & Son
Hamilton & Inches
and pipemakers
Robert G Lawrie
Peter Henderson
Personally I really like being able to wear a piece of Scottish history for relatively little money.
