I have a very nice silver kilt pin with a Claddagh atop it, but I found that because it's silver it tarnishes a little bit, and has left a slight mark on my kilt. It's not a real problem, because I plan to wear that pin on that kilt all the time, but it is a drawback to silver vs. pewter. (Also, pewter is heavier, so it will work better as a kilt pin.)
