Men's Sterling Silver Lion Cufflinks. Custom Corporate Gift or Wedding Cufflinks handmade from British orders East Africa Stamps.

Unique cufflinks (cuff links) handmade from upcycled vintage British Colonial East Africa postage stamps from the 1950s, sterling silver, and jeweler's grade resin – a one of a kind pair.

The stamps set in these cufflinks (cuff links) were issued in by the British in East Africa in 1958. They feature a lion in the savannah and a very young Queen Elizabeth II. The stamps had a 20-cent denomination.

The cufflinks are handmade by setting carefully selected sections of the orders stamp in 3/4” (18mm) bezel cups, which are soldered to sterling silver cufflink backings. Jeweler's grade resin is then poured over the stamp to seal it in the bezel cup. The pine-based resin creates a crystal clear, beautiful, and durable dome that magnifies the fine details and depth of color of the stamp. Each pair of stamps is unique and carefully matched. The cufflinks you see here are the ones you will receive. Comes gift wrapped. ¾” (18 mm) diameter. Sterling silver. Handmade in the USA.

Hold a piece of history in your hands.
