“Missing Pieces…Recycled silver shillings and threepence coins”

Through the ages of time flourish designs are representative of movement, transformation, and vitality, often representing the unseen energy behind growth, beauty, and creative expression. This allows me the perfect opportunity to compliment the lovely Irish hare coin with a design which aligns with the spirit of the animal and the coin.

As decorative elements, they transform simple lines into something rich and meaningful, evoking emotions and themes that words alone cannot always capture.

Inspired by flora, the flourishes mimic curling vines and unfurling leaves. These designs symbolize the natural world’s cycles of growth, renewal, and resilience, much like a relationship that grows and matures over time. The organic, flowing lines suggest a living, breathing energy.

Using deeply engraved Flourishes I am attempting to symbolize immortality, longevity, and the abundance of nature. The ancient and widespread use of these motifs connects humanity to the enduring, timeless power of the natural world.

The carved flourishes are a prime example of “emotion in motion”. The sweeping, dynamic curves and loops can convey a range of feelings, from playful and whimsical to elegant and serious.

Silver coin jigsaw cufflinks hand cut, carved, engraved and totally recycled.  These lovely little silver jigsaw cufflinks are handcrafted using genuine sterling silver Threepence and shilling coins. The beautiful traditional English scrollwork engraved finish is completely original and unique. I create them by firstly flattening out the silver shilling and sketching out a interlinked jigsaw design. I carefully engrave the scrollwork as a complete design and then cut the design in half to create the two individual jigsaw pieces. I then join the pieces with handmade silver cufflink chain to silver 100 year old threepences. On the inside you are welcome to request up to three personal initials to be engraved. Similarly if you would like a family set of cufflinks which are all linked with a single design please feel free to contact me with your request.

Handcrafted and recycled in Cambridge.
