Hepworth Inspired Cufflinks

sterling silver, 14kt gold, purple heart wood, 2009.
This is the pair that really started my love of cufflinks. It was one of those pieces that just came about in drawings and then I had to make it simply to find out how to put it together. It was the first piece that I used the purple heart in and the shapes were inspired by the sculptor Barbara Hepworth. I love the colour of purple heart and am intrigued with the contrast of it with silver.
