"Relique - (Frenchified spelling of Relic) something that has survived

the passage of time, cherished for its age or historic interest.

An object kept for its association with the past; a momento."

Funky, Unique Gifts for Men!

These funky Steampunk cufflinks will amaze you! They are button-sized watch movements that have the same highly detailed features as any larger movement, but in captivatingly small timepieces. People will stand in awe at the craftsmanship and construction of something so small. The company that made them used ruby jewels as bearings for the pivots of the balance which you can see embedded into the front. The tiny cogs and miniature gears will draw you in - studying them for hours! So stand out from the crowd wearing these really unique, truly vintage, re-invented cufflinks. Mounted on vintage silver plated cufflink bases. Each set of cufflinks is unique from one pair to the next.

Different styles and sizes available. Priced from only $70.

vintage & retro wallpaper packaging!

Bio


I was born in Nelson, New Zealand in 1975, coming from a family of talented self-taught painters. After leaving school, I went on to study at Christchurch Polytechnic, completing Foundation Studies in the Visual Arts. Being a passionate advocate of continual learning, I am largely a self-educated artist and thrive on developing different abilities and techniques; studying many facets of art. Working out of my villa home studio in Christchurch, my work is bold and vivid. I enjoy painting mainly in oil, drawing inspiration from living in a vibrant cultural city and the unique people that fill it.
