Fonderie 47 is out on a mission. In fact their name, if you read it right, explains it all. They create items out of the metal of AK-47. The AK 47 (in the off chance that you never heard of it) is a gun that is a favorite with militias, rebels and several militaries of the world. It is a weapon that requires low maintenance, has ammo that is affordable and easily available and does not require much training to use. It also means that if you think about it, is a weapon that has been responsible for large scale devastation especially in the violence prone regions of our planet. Fonderie 47 uses funds generated by their sales to buy out the guns from Africa and destroy them. From the metal accessories such as these cuff links are created.

Apparently its £80,000 a week ($128,000). But since that would mean we are contradicting our own words with the $135,000 rental of NYC ; experts have concluded that demand is so strong that prices could very well reach £100,000 a week.
