This is for all those who posted some months ago on the long hair thread. For some years I have had a HOPI silver hairpiece with a bear claw motif that clips onto the elastic band around my pony tail. I've always wanted a celtic piece to go with my kilts.

Some time ago I started a dialog with Michael McRae. Some of you may know him as an excellent bladesmith and maker of fine sgians dubh, dirks and broadswords, but Mike is also a jeweler. The last discussion we had was in Laurinburg at the Scotland County Games. About 10 days ago, he called for my mailing address and five days ago this arrived in the mail!!



Fit and finish are outstanding and the intertwined knot is just beautiful. Here is a couple of other photos of the finished product:





So for the long haired ones amongst us, here is the ultimate celtic accessory to go with your hair.
