• Image of Shoulder Angel Cufflinks

When the young Duke of Falcon Hall was ready to move up to Oxford University his father, the Old Duke, commissioned 7 pairs of Admirable Crichton Shoulder Angel cufflinks. So impressed with his own Shoulder Angels, the Old Duke felt it his duty to help steer his eldest son through the maize of temptation and piety that he, himself, had endured during his time of higher education.

The seven sets of cufflinks, one for each day of the week, were made by master silversmith, John Keighley, of Foundry Lane. They are cast by hand from pure English Pewter, 100% lead free. Weighing nearly an ounce each, when worn, they are impossible to ignore the advice they impart. “Sir, might I remind you of your dissertation due to be submitted next week” from one cufflink, whilst “Sir, freshers week comes but once a year, it would be rude to abstain”

As with all Admirable Crichton Shoulder Angels, they must never be separated. The resulting unbridled bad behaviour or runaway pious goodness is not worth the risk.
