An unusual 15ct gold tie pin featuring a Stafford Knot. It has a diamond in the centre. The upside down knot design is known as a “Stafford knot”. The knot was the badge of the Stafford family. One legend of its origin is that three convicted criminals who had committed a crime together were due to be executed in Stafford gaol. There was an argument over who should be hanged first but the hangman solved the problem by devising this knot and hanging the three simultaneously. However, the knot can be seen on a carved Anglo-Saxon cross in a churchyard in Stoke-upon-Trent, and also on a 7th-century Anglo-Saxon object from the Staffordshire hoard. This strongly suggests it pre-dates the Norman and medieval period, being probably either a heraldic symbol of early Mercia or a Celtic Christian symbol brought to Staffordshire by missionary monks from Lindisfarne. All our tie pins come with a stopper at the end of the pin.}

A lovely pair of 15ct gold cufflinks that were made between 1860-1880 during the Holbeinesque period when cabochon garnets were very popular.
