A sweet client commissioned me to make these cuff links for her husband.
Fox is an old family name, and their daughter, known as ‘Bunny’ did the drawings.
I pierced the sheet of silver with my drill, and then sawed the line drawings by hand with my jeweller’s saw. So cute!
I created these custom sterling silver Peugeot cufflinks for a client for her husband.
I sawed the lion rampant by hand with my jeweller’s saw – I cherish my tools!
A client came to me with two old bracelets made from old threepenny bits. They ranged in date from 1897 to 1940. The bracelets had seen better days, and my client asked if I could take two of the 1917 coins off and create cuff links as a gift for her husband.
It was slightly daunting to be working with 100 year old coins, but the cuff links turned out ok!
We have a little person, and we fell in love with this bird in a painting he made.
For a surprise, I created a pair of cufflinks with the bird on them.
Everyone was very pleased! I feel lucky to be able to draw inspiration from such a masterpiece!
I had a request from a client to turn her husband’s Australian Army major’s crowns into a set of cuff links as a surprise for him.
After a quick refresher to make sure that the melting point of the metal would not be too low to take the soldering, I removed the existing toggles, soldered cuff link backs on the crowns, et voila! (OK, I confess I had to change the direction of the links after a little misunderstanding, but hey – cuff links achieved!)
Any fans of Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers, REM or Forro in the Dark may be familiar with Atoms for Peace, an alternative rock band with some very famous names in it!
These cufflinks were specially designed to incorporate features of the AMOK album cover, and created for a lovely customer to give to her husband, a diehard Radiohead fan.
Just between you and me, these were the first cufflinks I’ve ever made – they were great fun! The cufflink backs are prefabricated sterling silver, but the rest is all my own sawing work.
I wonder what Thom Yorke, Flea, Joey Waronker and Mauro Refosco would think of them? 🙂
