► HOW TO!? Pin to your tie to keep it from swaying and add an unforgettable decorative accent to your outfit. 

• Insert the T-bar through the third buttonhole on your shirt.
• Push the pointed post through your tie
• Insert the post into the clutch hanging from the chain. Hold the clutch with your fingertips and slide the post into it.
• Now you’re sorted! The chain will live behind the tie and keep it from swinging.
• When pinning: don’t stretch or pull your tie tight, instead, allow it to hang naturally so it doesn’t bunch up or create a larger hole when you push the post through it.
• Can’t pierce your nose or ear at work? Be a tie-piercing rebel! Yep, whenever you use a tie pin, there will be a small hole in your tie. After wearing, you can gently steam the little hole with an iron, to make it shrink a bit. (Please do not steam your nose or ear or anything else you may have pierced already.)

► ABOUT THE STONE:
Sapphires get their colors from trace elements in the mineral corundum. Classic blue sapphires contain iron and titanium. Geologically, corundum crystallizes with trigonal symmetry. Metaphysically, healers see this patterning as "record keeper crystals,” and are identified by these small triangles either etched, indented or slightly protruding from the crystal.

► ABOUT THE MAKER:
Each pair of cufflinks is unique and one of a kind, and made by hand by printmaker, metalworking artist and Cyberoptix founder, Bethany Shorb. I work between Detroit, MI and Los Angeles, CA, where I source all our stone, crystal, shell, fossil and horn specimens there and at the Tuscon and Quartzsite AZ gem shows. All are intuitively sourced in person, from only the most reputable suppliers.
