Just wanted to link you to this Etsy seller..she makes the BEST collars (and they are beyond cute!) I just love them. I have ordered 2 so far. She customizes the size and if you want diff colors/styles etc and uses the good old fashion silver buckle grommet style which seem to be hard to find. Alot of collars seem to use the plastic clasps. She is super nice and the collars are top quality :) Here is the design i recently had made into a collar for Polly

The description of her collars from her site
Do you love traditional, "old-school" collars made with metal bar buckles and grommets but hate that they have a tendency to flap on the end? Well, I have changed all that. My innovative collar design eliminates the "flap". A series of small magnets embedded in the collar help the end (or flap) adhere to the rest of the collar. This internal feature does not affect the look or fit, nor does it add any weight to the collar. You won't even know they are they. But you will notice how well they work.
I only use jacquard ribbon on my collars. Unlike satin or grosgrain ribbon which is printed, the design is actually woven into jacquard ribbon. Jacquard ribbon is considerably more expensive than printed ribbons but it lasts much longer (the design on printed ribbon will rub off over time) and the look is much richer.
