Cufflink factory visit - 12/12/12

Recently I visited our cufflink makers in the historic Jewellery Quarter of Birmingham.  They are a family run business that have been operating since 1684.  They specialise in making cufflinks with hand-applied vitreous enamel.  

The following photos detail, step-by-step, the processes which all of our cufflinks go through.

 

Step 1: Stamping

 

Step 2: Enamelling

 

Step 3: Melting the enamel

 

 

Step 4: Filing and Polishing
