The inside of an abalone shell contains intricate patterns with a greenish patina. The design also glows with a soft shine that mimics diffused light. Anyone who sees the natural beauty of the inner shell of this mollusk will likely agree that it is ideal for making jewelry and other elegant accessories. In fact, abalone shells have often been used to craft antique or native earrings and pendants. It was but a matter of time that somebody would think to create designer cufflinks made of this unique natural material.
The complex yet sophisticated pattern of the inner shell of the abalone complements practically any material – wood, metal or glass. Various designs may be used to accent otherwise plain silver cufflinks and transform it to an extraordinary piece of jewelry. Such was probably the intention of the designer of these fabulous 9 square abalone silver cufflinks.
The green and blue hues intermingling on a lustrous natural surface subdivided into nine equally sized squares and encased in sterling silver create a unique but classic design perfect for any occasion. These cufflinks are pieces that mothers would not hesitate to pass onto their daughters, who can then pass it on to the next generation. The versatility of the design makes it ideal for both men and women to give as gifts or keep for themselves. In fact, the quality of construction and the natural material ensure that it will last for a long time. No wonder it is also one of the best selling items among collectors!
