Initial idea from Jochen from Berlin:

I would like to have a pair of cufflinks in the shape of Africa. As regards the material, I'm flexible and would appreciate suggestions.

Hi these are simply prototypes of cuff links i had made earlier in the year.

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.
