Damien Hirst Pill Cufflinks !

For Damien Hirst fans who can't afford one of his multi-million dollar art pieces we have a smaller bit of design that can go with you everywhere : Pill Cufflinks. Coming out of Hirst's fascination with society's reliance on medicinal fixes and derived from his Pharmacy project, one side of each solid sterling silver cufflink is a tablet and the other side is a capsule.
