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.
