Some buckles are pricier than others, depending on their age and availability. For a more unique buckle, check out www.theurgetoadorn.com.

These buckles usually have a brass frame, with a distressed color image in the center. They're both beautiful and unique, and will certainly be a conversation piece wherever you go.

Cop that redneck-rocker look with a buckle that really expresses your personality: Biker style, elks and bears, cowboy hats, skull-and-bones, trucker-inspired or whatever floats your boat. The best part is, they are all around $12-15.00! At that price, you can pick up one of each and mix up your look. These buckles look great on a vintage leather belt worn on a pair of your favorite low-riders. Check out www.buckleshop.com to find every kind of buckle you could ever want.
