A set of cufflinks featuring an 18-c gold finish has been made using parts from Prince Charles’s Aston Martin to raise money for charity.
Pistons removed from the car when the prince decided to convert the vehicle to make it more eco-friendly have been transformed into cufflinks.
A total of 200 cufflinks were made by TMB ArtMetal, and they were designed to resemble the DB6 and the car’s iconic wheel ‘spinners’.

Britain’s Prince Charles has beaten off competition from US President Barack Obama to be named the world’s best dressed man by Esquire magazine.
“He is perfectly turned out in a double-breasted suit. Admirably, the prince keeps his wardrobe in appropriate style: we’re told he has a room laid out like a tailor’s shop,” the men’s magazine said.
Prince Charles, 60, keeps it simple and has worn suits by Saville Row tailors Gieves and Hawkes, complete with pocket handkerchief and silk tie, for years. Esquire said he was “always incredibly well dressed”.
