Eccentric Cufflinks
Silver, lapis lazuli, gold and garnets. Commissioned for the Russian artist Eduard Bersudsky, who refused to wear conventional jewellery. His love of the female body is acknowledged, as is his love of eccentric things. A visit to his website at www.sharmanka.co.uk where you can see his extraordinary kinetic sculptures will explain these crazy cufflinks. Or go to the Royal Scottish Museum in Edinburgh and marvel at the Millennium Clock.

Shamballa bracelet
This bracelet was made for a 60th birthday. Each bead has special significance. He brought the meteorite for the central bead (see closeup on next slide) from Russia and it is inlaid with red gold from a medal belonging to his father. On either side are beads made of mammoth ivory, also brought from Russia (NB it is legal to make things from mammoth ivory as they are already extinct). The whiter beads are made of red deer antler, and the tiny bead is made of narwhale tusk given by his girlfriend. 2018
