TARDIS Cufflinks: Do Doctors Wear Such Nice Shirts?

Range — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 12:42:33 +0000

I haven’t needed to wear cufflinks in ages, but these TARDIS links sure look cool. These novelty cufflinks will allow you to tailor your formal look with a bit of your inner geek. A touch more Doctor Who wouldn’t hurt anyone’s look.

Simon Jansen made these TARDIS cufflinks using an N-scale model of a blue police box that’s been made ubiquitous by the Doctor. He made them by using a bit of light metalworking and a razor saw. Then, he painted them so that they would match the overall look of the TARDIS. Since these are quite small, it was a bit of a challenge, but they came out looking pretty great.

In order to make your own, you’ll need to look for some UK miniature train models to find a blue police box.Then read Jansen’s brief worklog to learn how to make your own TARDIS cufflinks.

Pac-Man Cufflinks Perfect for Any Black Tie Affair

I just got invited to a formal wedding this Fall, and have been stymied as to what I would wear since it’s been about 15 years since I had to wear a tuxedo to anything. While I still might have to rent a tux and bow tie, at least I know what I’ll be wearing on my sleeves.

How could you resist going out on a night on the town with these great Pac-Man cufflinks on your wrists? Handmade by Sarah Lynne Designs, they feature the likeness of Pac-Man on one cuff and a blue ghost (presumably spawned after a tasty power pill) on the other.

Sarah makes the cufflinks from sturdy brushed aluminum and then coats them with a heavy-duty resin for that glossy sheen. The intricate character designs are made from hand sculpted wire and paint, while the dots are made from teeny, tiny beads.

You can find these and other cool contemporary jewelry over on Sarah’s Etsy shop.
