Description

These swivel back cufflinks feature a rounds of cornish surfite which is bezel set in sterling silver, the surfite has a swirly pattern in shades of blue, white, green red and sparkly orange. Measure approx 19mm diameter and the tops are 4mm thick, they have a smooth flat top so they don’t snag when being worn under a jacket and surfite is a light weight material.
Not come across surfite before? Its the name given to layered up waste of epoxy resin that forms during the glassing stage of making surfboards (that’s when they cover the foam core in resin), normally this waste material get thrown out but people have started realising that it has a beauty all of its own and recycling it into things like jewellery. This material came from Toy Factory Surf in Newquay, Cornwall and I cut and polished it myself , there are a few dimples in the surface from air bubbles that got trapped in the material as it formed. I have plenty of rough (and rough from other sources) so if you love the idea of surfite but want something else drop me a message. Come gift boxed ready for giving to the surfer in your life.
