Design Inspiration: The Tusk Shape

Released in the mid-2000s, the tusk or “sabre tooth” design was part of Links of London’s expansion into statement-making cufflinks and men’s accessories. The sleek tapered silhouette of each tusk reflects both strength and sophistication, while the combination of black onyx and mother-of-pearl adds contrast and versatility.

The reversible construction means either side can face outward when worn, allowing the wearer to alternate between the bold onyx look or the softer, iridescent sheen of mother-of-pearl.

Craftsmanship and Materials

Each pair features double-ended tusks measuring 25mm long, tapering from 7mm at the widest point to 3mm at the tip. The tusks are linked by sterling silver chain connectors carrying the LL 925 hallmark with a date letter for 2006. The 18mm chain links ensure a comfortable fit while adding to the cufflinks’ fluid movement and vintage charm.

Vintage Character

This pair remains in unworn vintage condition with its original Links of London presentation box. While the exterior of the box shows marks from years of storage, the cufflinks themselves retain their full polish and sharp detail, offering collectors a rare opportunity to own an authentic piece of early 2000s Links design.

Why Collect Links of London Cufflinks?

Links of London began with cufflinks in 1990, and men’s accessories remained a core part of the brand’s identity. Designs like the Tusk Cufflinks reflect an era when the company blended traditional silversmithing with bold, modern aesthetics — pieces that could be worn on Savile Row or collected as part of British design heritage.
