One man’s mission to share with the world the fine art of cufflinks.

Each blog a different pair and each blog a different story.  Read on in this series.....

The Young Pharaoh Tutankhamen’s “Cartouche” Cuff Links

They say all that cast their eyes on the burial crypt of Young King Tutankhamen will be cursed….A young George Herbert, 5th Lord of Carnarvon financed the search for, and eventual discovery of, the Young Pharaoh’s tomb.

A snappy dresser in top hat, tails and cuff links, even in the inhospitable environment of the Valley of the Kings in Upper Egypt, he died under mysterious circumstances in what many describe as the Curse of the Mummies.

In the excavation, the left seal of the Young Pharaohs tomb was broken and they say it unleashed a chain of mishaps through generations….



Today is presented some solid silver cuff links sourced from the ancient souks of Cairo.

They depict the cartouche of King Tutankhamen, son of Nefertiti.



Worn with silk mustard Bvlgari tie with blue hippopotami and ancient Egyptian reed patterns.

Your Scribe has had nothing but good luck and good fortune with these wonderful cuff links.

Til later


ONWARD
