Yup, I do think they're well nice!
I was really only going to have one buckle made, but it was only an additional £30 to have four more done and as it was possible to get different 'looks' on each one, so I thought f*ck it and went for it. They don't photograph very well, but there are two 'high polished' ones (1 gold and 1 silver) and three 'antique polished' ones (1 gold, and 2 silver, of them with white enamel filling). The high polished ones are basically like chrome silver and gold, but you can't see that in the pic. Very bling...LOL...

Yeah, but it took me a while to find a company that did custom belt buckles from scratch, most of them just had some standard oval or square ones that you couldn't really do much with. However, these guys just needed an Illustrator file and that was it. Very friendly too

That's roughly what I paid too, but that was for 5 buckles and incl. shipping to Denmark. Mine were only 3.5 inches wide though - and I got a good exchange rate at the time when I ordered

Nice one Lars.
I couldn't have come close to that for one most likely.

Well, it's not cheap, but all things considered I do think it's a fair price for 5 custom made belt buckles. It's approx. £30 each which is probably the same as it would cost you if you went into a shop and were going to buy something similar, like, oh I don't know, an adidas belt buckle for example...

For sure, the Adidas belt and buckle I last bought was £45.
Gonna look into it over here.
I know the process but can't remember the name of it.
When I do, I'll have a dig and see what comes up.
