Cloak & Dagger Creations
Location: USA

Review: This is another vendor I tend to run into at Renaissance Fairs. The cloaks are AMAZING, and you can get one custom made to your specifications. A ready-to-wear, full length cloak can start at $129. Shorter, ready-to-wear, cloaks can be around $50. Prices for custom projects will depend on fabric and details. I also really love the variety of circlets they offer. Prices for these range from $12 to $200. They also make a variety of hats, snoods, and belts.

Review: (From the site: Fine Celtic Jewelry and Traditional Scottish Knives) Besides Celtic jewelry, and clan pins, this artist will custom make dirks and sgian dubh. Unfortunately, prices are a little high. Silver rings start around $130, and intricate pieces in gold get into the thousands.

Review: Chainmail isn't just to up your armor class any more. This site has an amazing array of chainmail jewelry, including chokers, handflowers, headbands and chaplets. Many of the pieces are embellished with beads, and you can choose which color you want. They carry semi-precious stone and glass beads that have their own page so you can take a look at them before you order. You can also design your own chaplet based on their designs. Simpler items start around $30 and more intricate items can be around $300. They also offer chainmail tops, skirts and coifs. Halters and skirts are closer to $300, but men's shirts can cost $1000 or more.

Review: Ok, so you already HAVE a kilt, but none of the other bits and pieces. Grooms will find all of the accessories that go with their kilt at this site (dirks, sporrans, pouches..etc.) Brides will find little extra touches to go with her gown (earrings, bracelets, hair decorations... etc.) They also carry Celtic wedding bands. This is another site that has way too much to give an accurate price range. Definitely worth a look.

Review: I would have linked to this site simply on principal as the main catalog is called the "Gallery of Decadence". Having fallen in love with almost everything I found there made it even better. Metal and beadwork headpieces, bracelets and necklaces in a variety of themes. I found bats, snakes, scarabs and spiders in product descriptions, as well as Victorian, elven, goddess and vampire. Prices on headpieces range fro $40 to $200.

However, as I browsed around I saw that there are some adult sized costumes, props and accessories. They've got a variety of costumes, accessories and props with themes like fairies, mermaids, angels..etc. They also have backgrounds and props you can use for decorating a reception or taking your wedding photos. Definitely worth a look. Prices seen to stay under $100.

For the musketeer hats you can choose the band and plume colors. Prices can be as high as $300 for some boot styles. Hat prices range from $100 to $150.

Uptight Clothing

Does not ship internationally.
"In Person" fittings are required.
Review: Primarily a corset / gown site, Uptight Clothing also makes tiaras, crowns and other accessories. The items in the tiara section of the website are wire work embellished with crystals. According to their pricing page these items can cost anywhere from $150 to $500 depending on the materials. However, mail order is not an option. Personal fittings are required for corsets and gowns. I'm not sure if this is also their policy for jewelry.

Bearclaw Jewelry

Review: Bearclaw Jewelry custom made my wedding bands for a fraction of the price I was given from a local artist. Working with them was a breeze, and our rings are awesome. Their primary focus is on Native Indian designs, but I found some other nifty stuff while I was surfing around (like a fruit bat ring). Prices for gold rings (without stones) are $300 - $400. Silver and mixed pieces are less, with some silver rings being only $75.

Review: From the site: Custom Engagement Rings, Wedding Bands, and Celtic Jewelry. This site is overwhelmingly cool... but it's also just plain ol' overwhelming. It's HUGEMONGOUS. Click on the "Site Map" and you'll see what I mean. Besides the Celtic work they also have a LARGE selection of other themes, like sports, geometric and polka dots. They also have other jewelry to match these themes. Prices start around $200 and go up to $2246 -depending on the ring size, width of the band, and material. If you're looking for something different, there is a good chance you'll find it here. If you don't find it, they will work with custom graphics for you.

I recommend surfing around the site, because there is a lot to look at. A nice touch to their pages is that they provide a link to matching and similar items. Prices seem to range from $30 to $60.

Review: It's easy for me to get distracted while browsing this site. There is lots of non-wedding related stuff for Pagans that I want. When shopping for your wedding, you'll want to check out the rings in the wedding section. They have a very nice gold Handfasting ring, as well as gold and platinum knotwork and spin rings. I also found some very nice necklaces, handflowers and circlets. They also have belly dancing accessories. Prices for gold rings range from $150 to $900. Silver Rings and other jewelry range from $30 to $75.

Review: I go back to every site to browse around before writing the review. When I got to this site, the first thing I saw was a gold ring that depicted two men spooning. You can get this two piece set in gay, lesbian or straight. One of the reasons I chose this site was because they carry many interesting detailed designs. If spooners don't appeal to you there are lots of other designs including dragons, wolves, and horses (to name a few). Silver jewelry runs around $20 to $30, gold rings can cost anywhere from $100 to $800.

Review: If you're looking for a unique wedding band, these puzzle rings are worth a look. I've always thought puzzle rings are neat. The only drawback to them is if you can't put them back together, they're difficult to wear. However the website has detailed instructions (with pictures) for you to follow just in case. Pepi's puzzle rings are available in silver or gold, and with 4, 6 or 10 bands. The prices start as low as $30 for a simple silver ring, and get as high as $475 for a complex gold ring.

Review: You may not believe this, but I get teary eyed every time I look at this site. So many wonderful boots with zippers, and buckles, and D-rings.. Sigh. I'd own them all if I could. My husband ordered a pair of boots from this site, and the only problem we had was that his calves were too wide. Alas, one of the dangers of buying shoes online. Luckily, a local cobbler was able to widen them quickly and cheaply. Prices range from $100 to $300.

While they are not actually related to the Society for the Creative Anachronism, they definitely have its members in mind. They only offer 5 boot styles, but their designs are pretty versatile. The tops can be worn upright or folded over, and they're easy to scrunch if that's the style you want. Prices range from $79.99 to $99.99 making them very affordable. However it is important to note that these boots are only offered in black, and they don't take custom orders.

Review: This is a great site for shoe shopping whether it be for your wedding day or jogging.They have a great return policy. They accept returns for up to a year, and shipping is free. One of the features on the site that I love is you can sort by color, price, size and width. Plus, how can you go wrong with a website that has both a "strappy" AND a "vegetarian" shoe section? Their price chart goes from "less than 39.99" to "more than 600".
