New Cufflinks for Valentine’s Day

February 5, 2009 by WendyB

Need a gift for a guy? These are my latest men’s designs. Click the pictures for more information.

If you want the story of Juana la Loca, the inspiration for the skull cufflinks, click here. The bat cufflinks were originally a special order for gorgeous blogger Jill of Stella’s Roar, who saw the bat necklace and wanted a manly version for her hubby. Check out Mr. Jill wearing his pair here.

UPDATED TO ADD: One pair of bats is still available but the Juanas are SOLD. I will start working on another pair next week, so let me know if you’re interested by emailing me at wbjewelry at hotmail dot com. Remember, blog bitches get special bargains!

UPDATED AGAIN TO ADD: Gorgeous blogger Prunella commented that she thought both the skulls and bats would make great earrings. I will happily make earrings — or a ring — out of these designs for anyone who wants them. Just let me know by email. Necklaces are already available here, here, here, here and here.

    love both, but the skull cufflinks are my favorite. they remind of some tim burton character (in a very good way!).

    Amazing work once again. I love the shadows and depth in your sterling silver pieces.

    Daughter of Isabella and Ferdinand and sister to Katherine of Aragon. Good inspiration! (I lamely admit that I know who she is without Googling…been reading too many Philippa Gregory books!)

    If I had a rockstar husband they’d be sold but he’s an accountant!

    I've always loved the Juana necklace, but the cufflinks are PERFECT. They're like this little touch of quirk around your wrists. So unique & unusual in a piece.

    At the risk of shock and awe (bad Princess!), these look so cool! Not exactly prep-like, but we can't not comment on just how excellent they are!

    Grins & Giggles Miss Wendy,

    so amazing. i love these.
    did you like The Rose? I loved Bette, I always thought of her in Beaches when she appeared on screen but that movie changed my perception of her.

    the skulls remind me of day of the dead! very cool.

    If MIss J bought either of these, she would NOT want to give them to anyone but herself.

  19. WendyB says

    February 6, 2009 at 10:48 am

    Miss J, a LOT of my Valentine’s sales are from women buying for themselves! I attract all the independent women, I guess.

    i like the skull cuff but bf doesn’t wear shirts requiring cuffs… : (

  21. fashion herald says

    February 6, 2009 at 11:02 am

    no wonder those Juanas sold immediately, and loved seeing the bats on Jill’s man, they look great on the shirt.

  22. WendyB says

    February 6, 2009 at 11:04 am

    Savvy, then get the matching necklace for yourself instead. That way he’ll be able to look at it and admire it on you.

  23. Laguna Beach Trad says

    Nice cufflinks! I want a pair. I’ll have to be sure not to wear them with my skull-and crossbones tie, belt, tie clip, and wingtips.

  24. Prunella Jones says

    February 6, 2009 at 1:32 pm

    Those skulls and bats would be great earrings!

  25. La Belette Rouge says

    February 6, 2009 at 1:46 pm

    A memento mori and a memento amori. Two symbolisms in one!

  26. TheShoeGirl says

    February 6, 2009 at 2:36 pm

    UUUUUUUGGGGGHH!!! Love them!! <3

  27. ...love Maegan says

    i love the way the skulls look. they make me smile. they’re like funny skulls without being cutesy. if that makes any sense…

  31. Hot Bot says

  34. Dale says

    I don’t know how to feel about the fact that a lady who designs jewelry is now tougher than me.

    Emasculated seems appropriate.

  36. Isabel says

    February 7, 2009 at 2:39 pm

    Oooh, I love the bat ones!

    Thanks for the tip on NYC, I’ll probably stick to cabs I hear the subway can be a bit shady;)
    i’ve been to NY a few times, but only for weddings and funerals, it will be nice to visit as a tourist! haha
