Grand Prize Winner, Saul Bell Design Awards, 2006.
18k gold, Argentium Silver, Yellow Sapphires.
These cufflinks won the Saul Bell Design Award's Grand Prize.
They are entirely handmade from silver and gold sheet and wire. From the top they look like fairly simple round cufflinks, but looking underneath reveals a carousel. There is a car, train, plane, boat, ship and truck which spin around when the yellow sapphire roofs are turned.
Since it was first held in 2001, recognition in the Saul Bell Design Award competition has become one of the most sought-after honours for jewellers and metalsmiths worldwide.
Eva Martin has won three Saul Bell Design Awards and been a finalist twice.
