Cuff Links
We make all sorts of cuff links but our favorite ones are our Canadian Pennies cuff links. We have all years from 2012 to 1940. They are elegant symbols of our heritage and history and very nice to pass down from one generation to another. You can ask for specific years that are meaningful to you and your family: the left one can show the year of your birth, the right one the year of your marriage, for example- or the birth of your children. We gently sand them off to create a nice contrast between the darker background and the letters, numbers and maple leaves. We then glue on a perfect glass dome to protect them from oxidation, dirt and indentations. They are then glued onto brass-based cuff links, gentle on the skin. We also offer them with pre-Euro European coins and other foreign currencies. As well, we have funky eyes, sugar skulls, abstract designs and ladybugs (all glass tops). Each pair comes in a classy black box on black velvet cushion. Prices vary depending on quantity.
