Silver Cowrie Cufflinks

The Silver Cowrie Cufflinks are a testament to the enduring beauty of Outer Hebridean craftsmanship and the natural treasures of South Uist.

Handcrafted with care, these cufflinks bring together locally hand-picked Uist cowrie shells and the refined touch of Sterling Silver 925.

Each shell, known colloquially as a Groatie Buckie, is cast in silver to create a beautifully simple yet striking accessory that showcases the organic charm and variation inherent in nature.

The cowrie shells, typically measuring approximately 12 mm by 6 mm, vary in size, making each pair of cufflinks a unique piece of art.

This natural variation adds an authentic character that reflects the individuality of both the material and the tradition behind its creation.

The design of these cufflinks marries timeless simplicity with a contemporary aesthetic, ensuring they are as versatile as they are elegant—perfect for both formal occasions and everyday wear.

Supplied in a wooden presentation box, the Silver Cowrie Cufflinks offer not only a wearable connection to Scotland’s rich heritage but also an exceptional gift for those who appreciate fine craftsmanship and culturally inspired jewellery.

The blending of natural materials with expert silversmithing pays homage to ancient traditions while celebrating the modern allure of minimalist design.
