Each piece is unique, made of glass and stainless steel, and handcrafted in the "tradition of ancient Venetian glassmaking." Price: $395

They are available in one of 13 different colors, all with sterling silver backings. Price: $150.
Did you know that manhole covers are round because that's the only shape that can't fit through itself when made slightly larger than the hole? Just passing that on, Dad told me that years ago and I thought it was fitting. Anyways, we've coveredquitea fewinterestingcufflinks here on Luxist, but I've never seen anything quite like this. I stumbled accross these while trying to find silk knots and was intrigued enough to click through the Google Ad. Cufflinks.com has miniature manhole cufflinks. Cities include Boston, NY, Chicago, London, Paris, and Rome. Each pair is $65 and I must say that though they're all very cool, Boston is the most visually striking but the squareness of the Roman ones is interesting.
