The Bijoux Magpie Summer 2017 Magazine

Colour of the Year 2017
THE FINISHING TOUCH
Make a statement with these unique, beautifully handcrafted solid sterling silver cufflinks
Originally the preserve of the rich and famous because they
were fashioned by jewellers, the industrial revolution
introduced mass-produced products whose price made
them more accessible. But by the 1960’s shirt
manufacturers were producing shirts with sleeve buttons
already sewn on and once more cufflinks became a sign of
status and stature. However, after a brief decline cufflinks
in a multitude of shapes, sizes and colours are enjoying a
renaissance amongst both men’s and women’s couture as
subtle, or not so subtle, fashion statements.
Navigate to the Silver Cufflink pages of The Bijoux Magpie,
and there you will be forced to choose between intricate
Artisan Lampwork Glass Cufflinks and bold, colourful
Bombay Sapphire Cufflinks, all with robust Sterling Silver
toggles that ensure they will survive everyday wear and
tear and sparkle at the most auspicious celebrations.
Distilled in Hampshire in the UK, Bombay Sapphire Gin
traces its origins back to a recipe that was first recorded in
1761. The iconic signature bottle is made of a striking blue
glass, which, when illuminated in the appropriate manner,
can give the impression that the liquid within is glowing.
The name of the product, and the subsequent choice of this
colour for the glass bottle was inspired by the 182-carat
gemstone Star of Bombay, which was discovered in Sri
Lanka and given to Mary Pickford, the silent movie star, by
her then-husband, Douglas Fairbanks.
The Bijoux Magpie’s Bombay Sapphire Cufflinks incorporate
Glasswork Beads that have been fashioned from Bombay
Sapphire bottles using traditional Lampwork techniques,
giving them their stunning blue colour, each pair totally
unique but equally gorgeous. A fabulous gift for the
discerning man and a fabulous accessory for a fashion
conscious woman.
They are supplied perfectly packaged in a beautiful black
gloss wooden gift box with an information card and you can
choose one of our full Gift-Wrapping services for that extra
special touch.
Also on offer is Free Standard Delivery on all UK orders,
with a 3-5 working days promise.
