We have them in colours to tie in with the other jewellery so that retailers can create co-ordinated displays and their customers can have matching pieces.” The new cufflinks will coordinate with colours from both the current Spring/Summer season and also into Autumn/Winter. The cufflinks come in a silver gift box to tie in with the Miss Milly branding and can be purchased individually or as a set of eight (one of each colour) for a lower price.
