Claddagh kilt accessories

[OC Richard]

I wear a Claddagh ring as my wedding ring, a lovely Irish-made oldfashioned traditional Claddagh ring with the proportions "just right" to my eye.

I like the IDEA of Claddagh kilt accessories (belt buckles, kilt pins, sporran cantles, etc) but most of them look ugly to me. For one thing, the Claddagh design is a RING which looks sort of odd when flattened out to be used as a motif on a flat surface.

But here we go!! I came across these belt buckles which are not too bad. All three have preserved the classic proportional balance between the hands, heart, and crown (which is all to easy to get wrong). Well #2 has a crown that's too big.







I strongly dislike the Glen Esk Claddagh buckle which has the heart very large and bulbous, surrounded by oddly attenuated hands.

I would very much appreciate any photos of Claddagh sporrans, belts, kilt pins, etc. Thanks! Richard
