Custom Products by Clever Cufflinks

Custom Products

Custom-mounted objects

Here are some of the items we can convert into cufflinks:

Keepsakes, such as charms, coins, tie tacks, fraternity pins, tokens, lucky stones, etc.
Photographs, both from prints and electronic image files, in either color or black and white.
Stamps or other flat, printed matter, like ticket stubs, cigar bands and paper fragments.
Gemstones, faceted stones and cabochons.

Cufflink items for mounting should be between the size of a shirt button and a nickel, or 1/4-inch to 7/8-inch in diameter. (Smaller items can be mounted as shirt studs.) They can be any shape, and made of virtually any material.

Besides mounted objects, we can also do custom-etched relief patterns on metal from your own sketches, designs, logos or camera-ready art. You can have your initials, a family crest, logo, figure, text or any combination of these.

We can impart custom designs to most precious and semi-precious metals. You can create a different look by adding enamel inlay. We can do enamels in most colors, and can employ up to four different colors per piece. If you are looking for a more subtle effect, an antique patina can be added.

Custom 3-D designs

For special ideas that defy two dimensions, we can produce three-dimensional objects and miniature sculptures from precious metal clay. PMC silver can be worked like ordinary clay, but is kiln-fired to yield fine (99.9% pure) silver. PMC gold yields 22-karat (91.7%) gold. We can create custom cufflinks from your original two-dimensional drawings, photos or computer images. For many small projects, PMC is a cost-effective alternative to casting.

We encourage you to use your imagination, and feel free to bounce your design ideas off of us.

Materials choices

Clever Cufflinks stocks torpedo-style, rotating cufflink posts in sterling silver, 14K gold, brass and nickel silver. We carry a variety of sheet metals, tubing and wire, and can obtain most materials from our regular suppliers.

Pricing

Our custom prices start at just $85 per pair, but as you might expect, they do vary considerably. Please e-mail us for a rapid quote (usually within 2-3 hours, even on weekends).

We have no minimum order quantity, and can work on short lead times (under one month). Unlike some other firms, all of our products are made in our own workshop. This enables us to manufacture products exactly the way you want them—not the way someone in a factory halfway around the world assumes they should be.

Placing your custom order

We regret that as of May 24, 2010, we are no longer accepting custom orders.
