Jewellery setting with ivory 1 stag tusks (‘hirschgrandeln’ 2) was first made popular in the early 19th century in the Alpine regions of Europe where it was believed to bring good luck to future hunts.

 

The idea was brought over to Britain by Prince Albert who gifted Queen Victoria with numerous pieces of jewellery, set with the tusks from red deer stags he’d hunted in the Royal grounds of Balmoral Estate in Scotland. 3

 

Today we are continuing this tradition, and the sustainable use of a deer management by-product, by polishing red deer ivory tusks (ivory canines 1) and setting them in sterling silver, to create a unique and original pair of cufflinks or a chain pendant.

​

Both Finished and/or Bespoke (custom-made) jewellery are available to order:

​

• Responsibly & ethically sourced ivory.

• Sustainable-use deer management by-product.

• Natural, environmental & eco-friendly resource.

• Traceability record & documented jewellery provenance.

• Unique engraved identification number & hallmarking.

•                    IVORY RED DEER TUSKS

Scottish Silversmith

​

All of our jewellery is hand-made in Scotland, hallmarked and individually numbered which all adds to the provenance of the jewellery.

 

The silver pendant is 'hammer finished' which creates a subtle facet look and feel that integrates with the smooth undulations of the ivory tusk. The sterling silver pendant chain is 18” (457mm) long i.e. 229mm clasp to pendant but a longer chain can be specified on the order form, when ordering; 20” (508mm), 22” (559mm) or 24” (600mm).

 

Both the cufflinks and pendant are presented in a velvet blue box with a card insert of the date and estate or forest name of where the stag was taken, provided the information is supplied when ordering.

 

The sterling silver cufflinks (pair) and pendant are priced at £180 including delivery within the UK.

 

For delivery outside of the UK, there is a charged of £29.95 for ‘International Tracked & Signed’.
