I just had to share this with the forum.

I went into an antique shop today to look for old chain type cufflinks. Straight away I saw 2 pairs of really nice ones. One pair is a 'button shaped' mother of pearl pair from the 20s and the other pair again was 'button shaped' but in the pattern of a target. The target consisted of a ring of blue enamel and 2 rings of old ivory, the rest was rolled gold. This pair was Edwardian. I couldn't decide which pair to choose, the mother of pearl ones were £10 and the others were £18. Anyway, I decided to buy both pairs. The lady in shop actually gave me a £4 discount for buying both.

I will try to scan them when I get my scanner sorted out. I don't have a digital camera but somebody told me that they would be possible to scan them.
