Our Chinese Zodiac cufflinks celebrate the heroic animals from the era of the Jade Emperor. Eighty-eight pairs are created at the beginning of each Chinese New Year to bring luck and good fortune to those who wear them.

To celebrate the start of a new year, we are delighted to present our limited-edition Tiger Cufflinks and share the story of how this wonderful character managed to secure his place on the Chinese Zodiac.

Long, long ago, the Jade Emperor invited all animals to compete in a race with the purpose of selecting 12 animals to be his personal guards. The emperor sent an immortal messenger into the land of men with the message that those 12 who finished through the heavenly gates first, would be included in the Zodiac.

The Tiger swam across the strong current of the river. Although he was not as powerful as the Ox against the current and not as cunning as the rat who sat atop the Ox, because of his bravery he was able to take his place as the third of the Zodiac animals.

We respect the brave, competitive and confident characteristics of the determined Tiger, and our handcrafted Sterling Silver Tiger Cufflinks are a detailed representation of this iconic creature.

To celebrate 2021, we present our limited edition Ox Cufflinks and share the story of how this wonderful character managed to secure his place on the Chinese Zodiac.

On the day of the race, the strong and dependable Ox easily led the contest and was set to be the clear winner, but unbeknownst to the handsome Ox, he was giving the clever Rat a lift behind his ear as they crossed the swollen river to the finish line.

As the Ox was about to cross the finishing line, the Rat suddenly jumped down from his head and entered the gates ahead of him.

The good fortune that the reliable and powerful Ox brings to those born of this year certainly benefitted the wily Rat that day, as the honourable Ox took his place as the second of the Zodiac animals.

We respect the hardworking and diligent characteristics of the determined Ox, and our handcrafted sterling silver Ox Cufflinks are a detailed representation of this valued animal. We have taken our inspiration from the Iconic Nguni Ox from Africa.

To celebrate the start of a new decade, we present our limited edition Rat Cufflinks and share the story of how this remarkable character managed to secure his place on the Chinese Zodiac…

On the morning of the race, the rat came across a swollen river with a strong current. Unable to swim through the current, he was forced to wait.

Soon the ox appeared and the clever rat quickly climbed up the ox’s leg and onto his ear. The ox was unaware of the rat's presence. After crossing the river, the ox saw the palace of the jade emperor and charged towards the heavenly gates.

As the ox was about to cross the finishing line, the rat suddenly jumped down from his head and entered the gates ahead of him.

Our rat cufflinks in sterling silver are a perfect representation of this quick-witted character. Crafted in minute detail, these rats hold a shiny seed of silver corn.
