The Classics


Cufflinks espouse centuries through various designs: art deco at the end of 19th century, extravagant in the period 1940-1950, eccentric in 1960 with Hollywood stars and whimsical today. Fashion/Style contrary to a revolution, it is a constant evolution and the classics always return to centre stage.

Colour In Cufflinks


The third in our special feature on alluring cufflinks: The finite detail of hand enamelling is evident in this little gem. It’s reassuring that in a world of more, faster, quicker and mass production, skilful hands are still at work creating treasured works of art in all forms of jewellery: “Precise, colourful and cheerful”.

Gunmetal Cufflinks


The second in our special feature on alluring cufflinks: Solid metal portrays a degree of masculine strength; using gunmetal adds a sense of power, and, for depth and subtly, rhodium. We can only assume the designers intent, and like songs we read in to them what ever we feel at the time. It’s just nice to elaborate a little and express our views. One thing is for certain this cufflink conjures rugged and subtle beauty, as depicted in its dramatic shapes and contrasting textures of black and silver.

Alluring Cufflinks


A growing demand for cufflinks has driven us to include a broader range from popular brand names. Even with the gloomy economic forecasts, we have a full diary of requests from all over the world. Some customers have been willing to wait for months, having per ordered especially, we can honestly blame the delays as a direct result of the effects of the severe winter of 2009 in England, all manufacturing and infrastructure were dramatically hampered for many weeks. It seems obvious that the little luxuries in life, like cufflinks, are still affordable. Designs abound in silver, enamel, Swarovski crystal and combinations of. The bespoke movement in England is challenging mass production at the other end of the scale, after all has anyone developed mechanical enamelling techniques for jewellery? Regardless, there is a human story behind handmade products, and it’s always nice to hear a good story. Every day we have to deal with machines and robots, automatic teller machines, clock in, clock off, security pads, remotes, self serve supermarkets and petrol stations. I guess we’ve become conditioned to our mechanically controlled environment and forget about the human element and their individual contributions, even in developing robotics. The best way to get in touch with your favourite brand is by wearing the things they have created. So to get the ball rolling we begin with a very special feature on alluring cufflinks.
