They were made for Caithness Glass - and have a silver millefiori glass gem as an embellishment.  Given the date of production - the glass gem was probably made by Paul Ysart.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe set comes with its original vintage Caithness Glass presentation box (rare to find boxed) - as photographed.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are exceptional cufflinks - with a miniature millefiori paperweight forming the main decorative feature.

He had been making small ‘stones’ and setting them into cheap jewel fittings as presents for friends and family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCaithness Glass saw the commercial potential in them and put Colin Terris in charge of further development. The range was officially launched in December 1970. Colin Terris designed a range of brooches and pendants inspired by traditional Scottish designs and hired Lucia Polanski as jewellery designer; she produced the rings, earrings, and cufflinks designs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iconic Edinburgh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39420659007552,"sku":"Sold for £55","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/1902\/6240\/files\/1970s-paul-ysart-scottish-hallmarked-solid-silver-millefiori-caithness-glass-cufflinks-190.webp?v=1783599427","url":"https:\/\/www.iconicedinburgh.co.uk\/products\/vintage-1970s-scottish-silver-millefiori-glass-pendant","provider":"Iconic Edinburgh","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
