Renowned for their kolaches and sausages, the Czechs also produce the finest glass art and jewelry in the world. I purchased these antique Czech glass buttons and tied them together with elastic thread to form double-sided cuff links. They're very easy to put on as the pink end is small but totally secure.
Like silk knots, they are much more understated and versatile than metal links and can be worn in any situation. I often wear them without a jacket and tie. The elastic thread may snap. That happened to me once when I applied an unusual amount of force. I will include some extra elastic thread so that you can tie them back together should that happen. Tying them is very simple and easy. I also made these other links for myself. They are not for sale -- unless you will pay an outrageous price. The second photo will give you a better ideal of the scale.
$15, free shipping in the US. Google Checkout preferred, $1 extra if you want to use PayPal. I plan to make more cuff links fashioned from buttons in the future. These glass buttons were a rare find and I'll doubt I'll ever find anything like them again.
