I'm not a fan of showing too much metal if I'm wearing daywear, but I've been wanting a Balmoral in green lovat or fawn, and would like to sport a McLaren clan cap-badge.

I've just asked a bone-carver for a quote to have one made from 'bovine ivory'. It'd be a slightly stylised and simplified version of the usual crest, but I've a feeling it could look good.

Do you think it's a good idea? Are there any implications to consider? Has anyone thought of this before?
