Hand Crafted Hopi Kilt Pins

[Riverkilt]

One of the joys of living in "Indian Country" is the abundance of craftsmen. I have long coveted some Hopi pins to use as kilt pins. They're about the same size as the X Marks pin. I just never could justify the expense (about $80 USD up to $200).

My lovely lady has been paying attention to my desires and this holiday she gifted me with TWO such hand crafted Hopi pins. A Bear pin and a Thunderbird pin.

You can bet I have that safety rubberband deal on both pins. The craftsmen even put a little loop on the top of the back so the pin can be hung from a chain. I'm gonna see if I can use a safety pin through that too as an extra measure of insurance.





Pins are made of sterling silver.

And they're both gorgeous.

As a lover of indian crafts as well, these are sublime. Well done Ron, you should take your lady to dinner in appreciation (and to show them off as well!)

Excellent Ron; a lady who appreciates and understands your tastes.

Beautiful. I'm really jealous, as I don't have a single kilt pin yet...

[Dirk Skene]

Both are really cool. Every time I am around a craft booth I look for items that were not originally intended for, but could be used as kilt pins.

[McMurdo]

Both are very nice, they really show the kind craftsmanship you rarely see anymore, just beautiful.

Awesome Ron!

I can't wait till I learn to do that.

I still have absolutely no use for kilt pins and still consider them an unnecessary piece of jewelery BUT those would make grand, fantastic, incredibly wonderful brooches for a flyplaid!

I'm jealous!
