I was refered to this thread by Maille Collum, who has bought many things from my pewter company, Canterbury Pewter. (Website off-line at the moment - sorry) In particular, we have leveraged a number of our peices as kilt pins, and I recreated beautiful St Andrews kilt plate. Also I use our Canterbury Cross cufflinks with my Prince Charlie...

I am curious, what is the motivation for the dandelion? That drives somewhat the reasoning and style for the piece.

I agree with others on metal choices, but most cases any variant metals would be a custom cast. Also, I prefer the softer tone of pewter, but does tend to conflict with the high gloss of most jacket buttons.

Let me know what you are looking for and if Tyger's designs doesn't meet it, I am happy to consider it.

Thanks
