Sheila Fleet designed these striking cufflinks and tie tack after a simple design found on a small brooch at the historic Mine Howe Iron Age chamber in Tankerness, Orkney. The purpose of Mine Howe is not known although it may have been associated with ritual or religion. The site appears to be Iron Age (700BC-500AD) in its style but the area has been considered sacred since the Neolithic period (4000-2500BC). The cross-like design with “misty” blue enamel makes a dramatic cufflink set or tie tack. Sterling silver cufflinks and tie tack are ¾” in diameter.  Order both as a set and save 10%.
