How's it going - are you knee deep in holiday preparations?

We can help!

As of today, Dec 14, 2011, all jewelry purchases made at Bumbershoot Designs on the web and Bumbershoot Designs on Etsy will receive complementary shipping upgrades to USPS Priority Mail.  This upgrade is for all US customers purchasing our designs - you pay the regular shipping and we'll pay the extra fees to upgrade your package to Priority Mail. No need to ask, no coupon code necessary, we'll provide Priority Mail shipping for all US shipments until Dec 21, 2011. 

The US Postal Service says that Dec 21, 2011 is the last shipping day to ship Priority Mail packages for Christmas delivery.  All of the jewelry designs at Bumbershoot Designs are ready to ship. Be sure to order by 10am on Dec 21, 2011 for Christmas delivery.

For the convenience of our local Seattle customers, we will support last minute purchases by shipping up to and including Dec 23, 2011, with our usual 10am shipping deadline.

And don't forget gift certificates! We send those electronically so they are a great last minute option.

Wishing you a happy holiday season!

New at Bumbershoot Designs. Copper Pearl All Vintage Cufflinks

I offer several cufflink designs at Bumbershoot Designs, all featuring vintage mother of pearl cabochons, and this is the newest design, just listed today.

These cufflinks are particularly pleasing to me since they are made from all vintage components. The posts are vintage, as are the mother of pearl pieces.  These vintage posts have a natural age related patina that softens the color of the copper plating.  The antiqued copper color works well with this particular mother of pearl, which has a lot of pink flash to it.  These posts work like a charm, nice and smooth, but secure.

I love offering a jewelry item for men. Although I have sold cufflinks to women for their personal use, most frequently my cufflinks are purchased by and/or for men.  I offer 5 additional types of mother of pearl cufflinks, in white and grey pearls, some smooth and some carved.  My Classic Pearl cufflinks were recently featured on the Front Page of Etsy as part of a lovely Father's Day treasury, you can see the treasury here.

All of my cufflinks are available in the cufflinks section of Bumbershoot Designs.  If you need any assistance, just let me know and I'll be glad to help. 

Wishing you a great weekend, and a great Memorial Day Holiday if you are in the US!

Cufflinks With Vintage Mother of Pearl Cabochons Featured on the Front Page of Etsy

Classic Pearl Cufflinks from Bumbershoot Designs, featured on the Front Page of Etsy about an hour ago, as part of a beautiful Father's Day treasury.  These cufflinks are made from gorgeous vintage new old stock (NOS) mother of pearl cabochons. These mother of pearl pieces were manufactured in the US between the 1920’s and 1940’s. The tops are smooth, lovely to the touch. This mother of pearl is very luminous, with almost a moonstone-like quality. It's such a pleasure to work with, I really love making these cufflinks.

For other cufflink designs featuring vintage mother of pearl,

 see the "cufflinks" section of Bumbershoot Designs.
These are regular items for Bumbershoot Designs, so if the pair you are looking for is sold, just contact me.

Many thanks to Toni at BucktoothedBunny, for including my cufflinks in this lovely treasury!
