“Hearth and Hounds” cufflinks by Cynthia Renée who specializes in custom jewelry. One of her clients liked cufflinks and unusual things so she suggested making cufflinks with scenes from his home and images of his dogs. He liked the idea and agreed. He provided photos of his dogs and the exterior of his home and its garden which were depicted with engravings, diamonds, and black lacquer in perhaps the most creative and personalized cuff links ever made.
I used this photo in my article for the July issue of “Jewelry Business” magazine to show how jewelers can create business for themselves by suggesting portrait jewelry to their customers. For more examples of how jewelers have increased sales, read my article at http://www.jewellerybusiness.com/publications/de/202607/…
