The samples of the "Marquis" paste knee buckles came in, and I must say I am very delighted! These are based upon one owned by me. The sample that I used was actually much smaller, almost one for a doll or baby, that I upsized. I have done this before with my Turquoise and Ruby Flower Cluster Forget Me Not Ring.

They turned out wonderful. The photo shoot uses a pair of breeches that are slightly off-white. The prongs for these buckles are not as sharp as others I have seen, so depending on the thickeness of the fabric, holes may have to be made. If the fabric is extremely thin, such as silk, a small reinforcement in the back may have to be made to the knee band.
