There aren't many innovations in 'traditional' kilting, but this could be one. Good Hunting.

The ceramic in knife blades is a totally different animal than traditional ceramics used in broaches and pins and cups and plates. It is a special mixture of clays and binders and is fired a very high temperatures in specialty kilns and then quench and treated and fired again. Even if you could set up to do all of that (expensive equipment) I'm not sure you could come up with items that were decorative along the lines of buckles and pins.
