Solar Cufflinks
This item is made to order, please allow four weeks for your piece to be complete.
Designed to be worn on your wedding day and forever after, the Solar Cufflinks promise to embellish your shirt cuffs and add a contemporary final touch to your look. Featuring responsibly sourced coloured gemstones, a handmade chunky belcher chain link and hand finished with Kitty's signature texture. Woven into this design is the circular form which can be found repeated throughout Kitty’s existing designs and that is informed by the warm halo of a glowing sun. The organic ‘halo’ shapes are made by melting down recycled silver scraps that are collected over time in the studio. Each raw clump of metal is then hand forged and hammered down using a bronze age hammer technique, until Kitty has the perfect shape that would work harmoniously with the stones. Each shape is then cast locally by Kitty’s casters in Hatton Garden, before being finessed and hand finished by the studio team.

The price, the colour & the purity of gold.
Cold enamelling is a solvent-free material mixed with resin to bring colour, strength, and durability. Slight variations in colour and traces of the artisanal process are part of the art of hand-painted enamel work, making each piece unique. We advise that you remove your jewellery before bathing or swimming, as salt water and humidity can degrade the enamel.
