The idea from Michael from Hannover:

I read that someone has made cufflinks with the outline of Africa. I think this is a great idea and I would like the same. Furthermore I would like a pair of cufflinks with the outline of a double bass instrument.

Hello Lucille,

thank you very much for your response and apologies for the delay – I was travelling in Africa.

I have seen the pictures you provided and like the form. But I would prefer the cufflinks in silver instead of gold. (This does not mean that it has to be real silver/real gold … of course the "gold" is brass – just referring to the colour). Would that be possible?

When it comes to the cost: are these for one pair of cufflinks or for both pairs?

BR
Michael

Lucille Nyikuri 10 Feb 2017 5:37 pm
Hi Michael
I hope you enjoyed your excursion in Africa.I have quoted for both cufflinks.It is possible to do them in silver color.
Thanks
Automated Translation 12 Feb 2017 1:17 pm
Dear Lucille,

thank you for your prompt reply. Yes, indeed I did enjoy my trip although it was for business purpose only. Also it has been South-Africa this time which is not really Africa, to be honest. And personally I enjoy East-Africa much more 🙂

With respect to your response: understanding that the price you have offered is for both pairs together and understanding that they will be in "silver", please proceed

br
Michael

hi Michael
I hope your great.I have attached a ring we made in the shape of the double bass instrument.Please approve the shape so we can use this as a prototype for making the cuff links.
Thanks
Lucille

Hello Lucille,
Frankly, I cannot really recognize the form (I assume it is the image on the far right). Would the cufflinks be massive or rather delicate, as the picture on the right?
Regards
Michael
Lucille Nyikuri 01 Mar 2017 8:32 am
Hi Michael
The cuff links will be delicate nothing massive.Unfortunately we cant do them in silver we are forced to use aluminum and we cant realise the product with this metal.The only metal we can work with for now is Brass.If your fine with that then we can proceed.
Thanks
