    I will cruise the web occasionally in search of unusual jewelry that can be used as kilt pins. Recently I came upon these that I find really intriguing:


    The artist has other examples and other media on his website.

    I'm not ready to hurry off and buy any of these - I think they are only examples of the artist's work and don't even know if they are for sale - but I like to believe that keeping an eye on this sort of stuff may help me decide what to get when I see a real opportunity at the confluence of budget and desire.

    Those really aren't my style. If truth be known, the grouse foot rather creeps me out.

    But here's a few beautiful kilt pins that other's might like:


    This first is a Charles Rennie Mackintosh design in solid sterling.


    A stylized celtic knot


    And finally a Saltire draped around a sword.

    I agree about the grouse foot! And I love the saltire pin! I really want to make that my next purchase.

    EDIT: It's $200!! Never mind...

    Thanks for the wonderful site. I've long chosen to use alternatives for kilt pins. I have all sorts of pins. Just look in any jewelry vendors tent.
