Classic Cuffs
Artist: Pansy Tan (Republic of Singapore)
Polly's Pick, Glass & Crystal
"My husband does not wear any jewelry except for his wedding ring, but I wanted to make something for him. So I thought 'why not make him a pair of cuff links?' The challenge was when I did the back stubs, to see how to fit them into the cuff sleeves. Using his old cuff links as the basis, I successfully made this pair. When he wore them to the office, his colleagues noticed and complimented him. I enjoyed doing the cuff links and it really gave me a sense of achievement." -- Pansy Tan
Flat-back items are easy to glue onto cuff links, but turning pointed-back items such as these sparkly rivoli stones into cuff links, requires a bit more ingeneuity.
Polly’s Picks are designs our editor especially likes despite the fact that they did not win a formal prize. These designs are often simple, practical and/or whimsical examples of how to use Rings & Things components well.
