Circuit boards can be used for so many things; snacks, clocks, keychains, cars, Christmas tree decoration – and cufflinks of course.

This geeky silver plated fashion accessory is made from recycled circuit boards, making each set unique. You will get them delivered like a box of chocolate, meaning “You never know what you’re gonna get”. Or, as Red5 puts it:

Due to the unique nature of each pair of cufflinks we are unable to offer a choice in colour.

The Silver Plated Circuit Board Cufflinks are available for £20 (about $40 USD).
