Agreed!

Look at these.

http://www.trophytack.com/trophybuckles.html  Sold through KO Trading.  Excellent Company to work with lots of cool items and designs.  Can do a custom design.  Gist of course is another company that is top of the line.  Carlos Silver is based in CA and does really nice custom work also.

Tres Rios out of Texas does outstanding work! And they are very reasonably priced.

Beautiful buckles at $100 a piece.  They've done quite a bit for a few shows around North Texas and I am using them for my show in Dec.  We've already go a design.  Ask for Gary.  It's worth looking at what he can do for you.  I think you'll be surprised.

We used Maynard Buckles for 15 buckles for a horse show series and were very happy with the results.  Cost about $115 each.

Montana silversmith  makes great custom buckles!! I have three of them

From showing horses I have gotten a variety of them.  Here are my opinions on the brands I've won.

Montana silver-  eh, okay, but they aren't anything special.  Not much variety in the designs, see many of the exact same style just from a different event.  Once you get one better you don't go back.

Kathy's- proud to have won it, but I hate the buckle itself and how it hooks into the belt.  I have never worn it

Dale chavez-probably my favorite,  never saw one similar outside of the others that were won at the show I got mine,  very nice overall,  stayed in great shape during use, won in 2009 and wore fore 2 years, only a few spots lost the shiny coat, but it is where the seat belt would rub it. Beautiful buckle!

Gist silversmiths-  really like these too, don't onow how they vary in design, but they are nice looking and I wear both of mine right now. 

I would not get one with sterling silver overlay...pain to deal with because you will have to clean it everytime you wanna wear it because of tarnishing.  I would go with a gist or a chavez(if you have big budget, definitely chavez...no question)
