Fox & Goose Yellow Gold Vermeil Cufflinks

You're the Fox That Got the Goose!

Capture the timeless charm of folklore with our exquisite cufflinks, inspired by the beloved German children's song "Fuchs, du hast die Gans gestohlen" ("Fox, you've stolen the goose"). Like the cunning fox in this classic tale, these cufflinks will steal attention wherever you go—but unlike the fox who was warned to return his prize, you'll never want to give these treasures back!

A Legacy Cast in Gold

Meticulously crafted by a master German jeweler, these heirloom-quality pieces showcase solid 925 sterling silver with luxurious 23 karat gold plating, an impressive 5-6 microns thick. The intricate detailing reveals a cunning fox on the face and a determined goose on the foot, telling an age-old story of trial and challenges. A robust solid bar shank ensures these cufflinks will never fail you, unlike a toggle bar that will wear down and break with age.

The substantial weight of these cufflinks keeps your cuffs perfectly positioned throughout your day, a constant reminder of the quality at your wrists.

Just as the fox and goose tale has captivated German children for generations, these cufflinks will captivate everyone who glimpses them at your cuff. Each piece tells the playful story of wit and cunning, transforming an ordinary shirt into a narrative of sophistication.

Handmade in Germany with unwavering dedication to quality, these cufflinks are a testament to Old World craft. Their substantial presence at your wrist whispers of discernment and taste that, like the enduring folk melody, stands the test of time.  Don't let these remarkable pieces escape—claim your pair today and write your own story of captivating style and timeless sophistication.

The fox may have been advised to "be content with the mouse" in the song, but why settle for less when you can possess these magnificent cufflinks?

How to Wear These Cufflinks

Formality

These charming gold cufflinks offer remarkable versatility while adding a touch of sophisticated personality to your attire. Here's how to showcase them perfectly.

Ideally suited to most daytime occasions, they can also be worn at non-formal evening events or with Black Tie dress codes that include some element of whimsy or personal creativity, such as Creative Black Tie or Festive Black Tie.

Accessory Coordination

For a polished, intentional appearance, coordinate the warm gold tone of these cufflinks with other metal elements in your ensemble. Match them with a gold watch case, tie bar, or belt buckle for a cohesive look that demonstrates attention to detail.

Allow these narrative-rich cufflinks to be the focal point of your accessories. When wearing them, keep other jewelry minimal—perhaps just a quality watch and a simple wedding band. This restraint creates a balanced look where your cufflinks can truly shine as a conversation piece rather than competing with other elements.

Seasonality

The rich gold finish works beautifully year-round but particularly complements the warm tones of autumn and the festive atmosphere of winter celebrations. During spring and summer, these cufflinks add a touch of warmth to lighter colored 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.
