I wanted to commission some bespoke cufflinks for our wedding anniversary incorporating my grandmother’s silver six pences so I approached Zaphir for some inspiration. After discussing a range of ideas, I couldn’t make a decision on which backs to go with so zaphir suggested interchangeable backs so I didn’t have to! I also really enjoyed seeing the process which later became a blog on Zaphir’s website - Hannah T
