Abi Insoll makes bespoke jewellery. Some may recall that she made me some foxy cuff links for my daughter's wedding last year. She has now produced a collection of cufflinks made from vintage buttons - ideal gifts for Fathers' Day. I visited her recently at her studio on Eel Pie Island to see what she's made.

The buttons are in limited supply and only around three pairs of each pattern are produced - so these aren't a mass-produced product. They are mounted in sterling silver and have fixed bars for durability. The buttons are either glass or metal and from 13m to 19mm in diameter. Prices vary from £140 to £160.
I've shown a selection of what's available below. Abi can make bespoke cuff links from a client's own vintage buttons or to other designs. Please visit Abi Insoll's website for more information and to buy.
