Opal Cuff-links

These cuff-links were a gift from the parents of a young man for his graduation. We talked about what the gift should be. They had some old gold and two opals (his mom's favorite stone). The son is an accomplished musician and often plays with a formal group often wearing a tuxedo. Let's make him some cuff-links!

The gold is from the rings they gave me. That part was made from soft bees wax molded by each parent. Their finger prints were embedded in the wax and can be seen in the gold. I then added the opals. About as personal as you can get. And affordable since they provided the gold and the stones.
