Eagle & Snake Blackened Sterling Silver Cufflinks

Let Your Style Take Wing

Capture the essence of triumph with our exquisitely crafted cufflinks, where an eagle's victory over a snake symbolizes strength and perseverance. These cufflinks are more than just accessories; they are a testament to overcoming challenges and embodying an indomitable spirit.

Expertly crafted by a renowned German jeweler, every detail is meticulously carved, from the eagle's feathers to the snake's scales. The shank, representing the eagle's leg and talons, is fully detailed, showcasing the artistry involved. This attention to detail ensures that each piece is not only a work of art but also a symbol of resilience and power.

Made from solid 925 sterling silver, these cufflinks boast more than twice the silver content of most competitors, ensuring a substantial and reassuring weight. The 23-karat yellow gold plating adds a radiant finish, offering the look of solid gold without the hefty price tag. This combination of materials guarantees a luxurious feel and a lasting impression.

These cufflinks are a bold statement of masculine elegance, perfect for the gentleman who values tradition and strength. Their design also pays homage to the flag of the great nation of Mexico, adding an extra layer of cultural significance.

How to Wear These Cufflinks

Dress Code Appropriateness

These distinguished silver cufflinks provide exceptional adaptability while introducing an element of refined character to your wardrobe. Perfect for most daytime functions, they transition seamlessly to casual evening gatherings or Black Tie events that embrace personal flair, such as Creative Black Tie or Festive Black Tie interpretations.

Coordinating Accessories

To achieve a thoughtfully curated appearance, align the cool silver finish of these cufflinks with the other metallic components in your outfit. Complement them with silver-toned watch casings, tie accessories, or belt fixtures for an integrated aesthetic that reflects meticulous consideration.

Make these statement-worthy cufflinks the centerpiece of your accessory collection. Limit additional jewelry to essentials—perhaps an elegant timepiece and understated ring. This judicious approach creates visual balance, allowing your cufflinks to serve as conversation starters without visual competition from other adornments.

Seasonality

The sophisticated silver tone performs admirably throughout all seasons but resonates particularly well with winter's crisp palette and summer's bright ambiance. In transitional seasons, these cufflinks introduce a pleasant coolness to autumn and spring's medium-hued suits and shirts.

Precious Metals for Precious Cufflinks

925 Sterling Silver

Each of these cufflinks is cast from solid 925 Sterling Silver, the quality standard for silver products with a purity of 92.5%. Because they are solid, and not hollow, these cufflinks have a pleasing heft in your hand and will also sit more securely in your cuff buttonhole, ensuring a neat and refined appearance.

The pieces featuring a Blackened Silver luster consist entirely of 925 Sterling Silver. Their unique appearance has been created by intentionally oxidizing the surface of the silver to darken it before the surface features are carefully polished to remove portions of the oxidation. This polishing creates a high contrast between the surface and the oxidized details, emphasizing the sculptural appearance of the figures and the fine intricacies of the carving. 

Our silver alloy does not contain nickel, meaning that our cufflinks are hypoallergenic and allergen free.

23k Yellow Gold Plating

The pieces featuring Yellow Gold are plated with 23 karat yellow gold to a depth of between 5 to 6 microns, considerably thicker than the plating employed by most other jewelers. This thickness ensures that the plating will not deteriorate with regular use, providing you with a heritage-grade accessory that looks and functions exactly like a solid gold cufflink, but at a fraction of the cost.

Our gold has been sourced from a legacy bullion provider in Germany founded in 1850. Its operations take advantage of the latest technology to produce exceptional gold of the highest possible purity. Dedicated to sustainability and the protection of the environment, this refinery is carbon dioxide neutral and is also one of the leading gold recyclers on the planet.  

How to Wear

Rather than employing a rotating t-bar mechanism, which can wear down and break with time, these cufflinks have a fixed post shank, ensuring vastly superior durability and cleaner overall lines.

To use it, simply guide the foot, or smaller, end of the cufflink through the outer and then the inner fold of your cuff buttonhole. The weight of the cufflink and the size of the face and foot will hold everything perfectly in place.

How To Store Your Cufflinks

To prevent scratches, avoid placing or storing your cufflinks on or near rough surfaces. For further protection, store your cufflinks in a soft pouch, lined jewelry box, or the case in which they arrived. Keep your cufflinks separate from other jewelry to avoid damaging contact or abrasion.

How To Clean Your Cufflinks

1. Wipe your cufflinks with a soft, lint-free cloth after each use to remove any dirt or oils. This prevents buildup and maintains their shine.
2. If needed, you may polish your cufflinks with a high quality gold or silver polish, following all indicated instructions.
3. Keep your cufflinks away from harsh chemicals like perfumes, lotions, and cleaning products. These can damage their precious metal.

Please Note: Our Blackened Silver Cufflinks will continue to oxidize and darken with age. To restore their original high-contrast appearance, lightly polish them as needed.
