The Lion Cufflinks are a pair of cufflinks in 925 sterling silver, each face carrying the head of a lion, the device used on crests and seals for centuries as a sign of rule. The h ead is cut in relief with the mane worked out around it, and the antiqued finish darkens the ground behind.The lion head reaches the cuff from heraldry rather than nature: the same emblem that sits on a shield or a signet, moved onto a shirt. That is what gives the pair their formality. The lion stands for courage, authority and composure under pressure, worn as an emblem rather than a religious symbol. Show more
