Hi these are simply prototypes of cuff links i had made earlier in the year.
Translator MB 04 Oct 2016 5:49 pm
Hello Lucille, thank you for the examples and your offer. How exactly would you realise the form of the African continent? I feel that the concept of the shaped wire may not be fine enough, so that one would recognise that it's Africa. I'm also worried that the fastener may slip through. What materials did you use in the examples? Do you have any more ideas?
Lucille Nyikuri 04 Oct 2016 6:24 pm
For the shape of the map of Africa I will either use cast brass or cut it out of a sheet of Brass.I will pick that which will give me the best finish.When we use Brass the fastener will be soldered to the map of Africa in the same style as the normal cufflink.

Lucille Nyikuri 25 Nov 2016 10:27 am
hi i will send you an image or video of the work in progress next week thanks
Lucille Nyikuri 08 Dec 2016 3:00 pm
The brass pendant of Africa is 1.6cm in length.Is the image okay or I take a clearer one?
Translator MB 14 Dec 2016 7:19 pm
Is the ratio of length to width correct? In the picture, it looks like the shape of Africa turned out too long or too narrow?
Lucille Nyikuri 15 Dec 2016 1:09 pm
Hi the length is 1.6cm and width 1.1 cm.The photo i have attached is the final product
Automated Translation 20 Dec 2016 1:13 pm
Hello Lucille, thank you for the new photos. Unfortunately, it still seems to me that the dimensions you chose for the map of Africa are not correct and therefore the map is not immediately recognizable as Africa.
According to Wikipedia
Africa is approximately square. However if you still believe that one would immediately recognize that it is Africa, then please send a photo with the direct front view of the cufflinks (maybe a short video from several directions):
From Wikipedia:
"From the most northerly point, Ras ben Sakka in Tunisia, at 37 ° 21 'N, to the most southerly point, Cape Agulhas in South Africa, 34 ° 51'15" S, is a distance of 8,000 km (5,000 mi ), From Cap-Vert, 17 ° 31'13 "W, the westernmost point, to Ras Hafun in Somalia, 51 ° 27'52" E, the most easterly projection, is a distance of 7,400 km Mi). "

Lucille Nyikuri 17 Jan 2017 1:10 pm

Automated Translation 21 Jan 2017 11:57 am
Hello Lucille, could you please send a few sharper photos of the form from different perspectives?
Lucille Nyikuri 07 Feb 2017 5:24 pm
