Wire cufflinks

I'm interested to know if anyone else on here makes gentlemen's cufflinks? Mine look like this..

Never tried cuff links,think I'm guilty of being sexist with my jewelry :-/ .... I did make a men's ring a couple of times.Thats a cool idea though :-)

I've been meaning to try out cufflinks, but haven't gotten around to it yet. I'll have to make some for my husband to try out. I have made tie bars for him and his brother, I'll probably put some in my store soon.

Sorry to neglect my own thread! - I got this idea from a jewellery book actually, and adapted it to my own design

Great idea. Men are starving for things to buy on etsy. We should pay more attention to them!

[abigailpine]

Mmmm. Well, there doesn't seem to be much for them in the way of jewellery!

By the way, GemFire, I must try tiebars; that never actually occurred to me. Sounds like a good idea.

Oooh, tie bars and cufflinks are both good ideas! I try to make all my designs have a geeky inspiration, so I bet boys would go for geeky tie bars!

Simple tie bars are pretty easy, and there's lots is scope for different variations. My husband likes his a lot, they work pretty well as long as you make them grip tight enough but make sure they won't snag the fibers.

Good; I'll have a go at them. The cufflinks seem to be pretty popular, so maybe the tiebars will be as well.
