For the dapper fellow who likes unique cufflinks these cufflinks are soldered together and coated on the back to finish off their appearance. The featured image the lion rampant. The red inlay really brings life to these eye-catching accents. They are great in formal or casual setting and their unusual subject matter is an excellent conversation piece! We know you are having trouble finding interesting cufflinks. That inspired us to go and dream up a whole collection of unusual but classy subjects for you to choose from.
They are about 2.8 x 1.8 cm or 1 x 3/4 inch.
These brass cufflinks have been antiqued to give them a lost treasure appearance.
Each metal component, made in our Alberta, Canada, studio, is the product of a rigorous 35-45 step process (around 35 per earring or pendant and between 40 and 45 per ring and cuff link). Starting with plain sheets of metal we design and create our components one at a time. Some of the key steps include preparing the metal and design work, etching the imagery and cutting custom shapes. Shaping is done with a manual hydraulic press (2000 lbs plus per a component) to create stronger, more durable and professionally shaped components. Each piece is finished with a meticulous hand applied coloring process wherein each color is individually applied and often on different days to allow for the lengthy drying process (up to 72 hours). The majority of the other steps revolve around an absurd amount of sanding and cleaning, as well as, adding the finishing touches such as ear hooks, jump rings, soldering etc. Because of this no two items are identical and they have variations between each item.

Designed to inspire you, or that special someone, these books are our way of imparting our creative spirit to you!
This book was inspired by Alberta's provincial crest and custom developed from there. We created both the custom leather casing, complete with a custom "Alberta" Logo stamp on the inner flap, and the brass Alberta crest from scratch. The colouring on the metal is also custom. If you are interested in a different provincial / National crest or one from outside of Canada please contact us regarding pricing and timelines.
The red-brown inspired leather book you are currently admiring was hand crafted by Edmonton artist Amy Skrocki (Paragon of Design of Skrocki). The casing for this book was created from top quality leather, hand carved and tooled, hand dyed, and hand bound. The pages in this book are acid free thick antiqued card stock (not white) and ideal for: writing, drawing, photos, or keepsakes. The book can be rebound when you have filled the pages as well, so the case can be used for a long time. The size of this journal is 23.7 x 15.8 x 4 cm.
