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....
As you all know, this blog space try’s its best to keep a political, religious and gender balance in it’s all its views and today is no exception.
Today’s cuff links are somewhat esoteric, as your scribe has no idea what they are or what they mean. They were procured for that reason and no end of research has been able to shed light on exactly what they mean. Admirers speculate and everyone has an opinion once I mention that I don’t know where they are from. They were found wandering around a London
Have a look see what you think…..
Any ideas would be appreciated.
We of course have St George slaying the dragon (St George being strangely nude!) and the crest is surrounded with the text….”The Queens Own Studs”. As mentioned, this provides no end of speculation as to their provenance. The most likely of course is that they emanate from one of the finest breeders of race horses in the world, HRH Queen Elizabeth II herself. Who incidentally is celebrating her Diamond Jubilee today. She only has a little way to go to take out the longest ruling monarch title from Queen Victoria
HRH is the Constitutional Monarch of 16 states and is the Head of the Commonwealth of Nations comprising no less than 54 countries. She apparently has a few hobbies outside of royal duties that include the breeding of thoroughbred live stock, going to the horse races, corgis and watching wrestling on the TV…..what a girl!!!
With Bart Cummings, possibly the greatest race horse trainer of all time and no doubt wearing his Queens Own Studs cuff links!!!!!
The Queens Own Stud links today are worn with a Brooks Brothers cotton shirt and a Hermès silk neck tie with jockey silk motifs.
Til Later
