Formal Buckle Shoes

[DWFII]

I particularly like the "Pierced Buckle" on this page...which admittedly is more rectangular than rounded, as you have noted...it's still classy though. It says it's brass...but it looks rather white. I guess you could always have them silver coated. You can also get the "Great Scot" buckle if you are feeling particularly flambouyant!!

Fugawee Buckles

I buy buckles from Fugawee. For my own new pair I have ordered a Tudor Rose in white bronze. The Great Scot is is only slightly larger (1/8" longer?) than the Tudor Rose but engraving on the Great Scot doesn't stand out from the background the way the "roses" in the TR do.

Be aware that most white bronze still has some yellow in it. It will never be mistaken for silver, I'm afraid. And neither the brass nor the white bronze shine up much beyond what pewter will.
