    As you know, when Asprey was owned by the Sultan of Brunei, they were partnered with Ferrari. During this period, they produced a bunch of Ferrari branded items. I really want a pair of the cufflinks, but can't find them anyone selling any. Do any of you have any Asprey Ferrari items? They made lots of cool stuff. Do any of you know where i can get the cufflinks?
    Cheers.

    I remember a few years ago I was in the store and saw some nice cufflinks in the shape of a 308. They were gold with the car being painted in enamel. Cost £2000 ($3000+) !!! The sales person was talking about how difficult it was to get the paint consistancy the same for obth cufflinks and how the carfts man had to hand paint each one within a very short time so that they could both go in the oven at the same time etc etc. They were really nice .. but not THAT nice :)

    Yes, they don't make them anymore, the companies are no longer affiliated. The sponsorship cost Asprey more per year than their entire revenue.

    i have a pair of the asprey cufflinks. they look like ferrari horn buttons from the the 250 series cars. they are very well made. the cufflink is sterling silver. for the yellow part of the horn, it has a gold inly. and the black horse is done in enamel, i believe.

    I also have a pair of the Asprey cufflinks. This particular set is a minature replica of Borrani wire wheel knock-offs.

    Asprey is currently owned by the owner of Ferrari of Quebec.
    Ex- Tommy Hilfiger investor. Many horsey cars in his stable...

    Zach,

    What style of Asprey cufflinks are you looking for? I have come across other pairs from time to time. I believe the sterling links sold for around $250 new. Let me know if I should keep my eyes peeled.

    these are the currflinks that i think most people would call the "ferrari asprey" cufflinks. they were purchased in 1997 (?) for around $450.00.

    A couple of years ago when Asprey was in the Carlyle Hotel, I inquired about the cost of cufflinks done-up in the style you described...the 250 series horn button. I was quoted $2400 for a pair. Needless to say, I passed.

    Search eBay for "Ferrari cufflinks." You can find them once in a while, usually as Scuderia shields. Check with Franco Vall____ in New Orleans. See his ads in Forza.

    Sindo308QV made some excellent shoe dangles for Valeria. They were great!!!

    IIRC he used the same size as the cufflinks he offers...

    Go with Sindo, man. He can make ANYTHING!!!!!!! ;)
    A total custom order with him was VERY reasonalbly priced, IMO.

    I'll bet he could do some knock off spinners, I didn't think to ask!!!!

    The horn button, the Borrani wire wheel knock-offs: they would be great. But not for $$$thousands - wow. I'll keep checking Ebay periodically.

    It is Stroll. He doesn't own all of Quebec, I still have 215 acres of it...
