Super cool!!! TY for sharing.
Eastern Market! Wow. I'm going to have to venture over to the other side of town when I get home again.
FWIW, I always have a couple pairs of silk, French knot cuff links in my suitcase. (

The knots work just fine and it doesn't stress me out to replace them. The ones your sister gave you are also very cool and at $40 not so pricey that I'd kick myself if they were lost or damaged.
My favorite links are the double sided ones affixed to little chains. They flex a bit and don't cause the shirt to pull when I extend my arm. They are also easier (I find) to fasten as after putting one side in before I don the shirt, the other side slips through the buttonhole like, well, a button. LOL.
All the best.
