Unique Hand Forged Buckles

Without a doubt this is some awesome work, and to paraphrase NorCal, so much is cookie cutter stuff these days. The spirit, hard work and creativity, put into these is Celt through and through, a must have, and worth the cost! At the top of my list!!!

Might the old Celtic triple spiral ever be in the offing????

Is this what you have in mind? I have made a couple of Triskelion belt buckles, brass on copper, 3.5 inch diameter.



A triskelion or triskele is a symbol consisting of three interlocked spirals, or any three protrusions and a threefold rotational symmetry.

The triscele has been used since ancient times in Celtic culture to symbolize the cycle of life. It has also been a symbol for the trinity since post-pagan and medieval times in Scotland, Ireland and parts of England and Wales, and as a symbol for the three goddesses of Celtic mythology.

When looking at the symbol it is clear to see that spirals move inward therefore also being cited that each spiral symbolizes strength, honor & fortitude.

After some discussion and time for thought, Matt decided that he wanted his buckle to be built with pewter and brass. The pewter reflects it's soft character, and the brass provides low luster and strength. Both are very warm metals, almost as warm as copper. Notice my cone-head rivets ().




The Chi Rho is one of the earliest christograms used by Christians. It is formed by superimposing the first two letters in the Greek spelling of the word Christ ( Greek : "Χριστός" ), chi = ch and rho = r, in such a way to produce the monogram ☧.

The Chi Rho symbol was also used by pagan Greek scribes to mark, in the margin, a particularly valuable or relevant passage; the combined letters Chi and Rho standing for chrēston, meaning "good."

Although not technically a cross, the Chi Rho invokes the crucifixion of Jesus as well as symbolizing his status as the Christ. (Wikipedia)
